"No Internet Access" + A whole lot of other problems

[anthonyn66]

My router is a TP-Link TD-W8920G v1 0000 2200
My ISP is TekSavvy (Canada)
My OS is Windows 7 (problems happen on XP as well)

It only started happening about 2 months ago. Whenever I'm browsing, every 5 minutes or so the internet will give me a "No Internet Access" indicator, or will go painfully slow. Also, my router receives a lot of packets, but doesn't send even close to as much. The last problem is that I can't update the firmware. I tried to through Ethernet, but it gives me a message saying it failed.

I called Teksavvy. They tested my line, it is perfectly fine. I called TP-Link, but they had very thick accents and in the end, they didn't know what to do. I tried all the old tricks (resetting, power cycling, repair) to no avail.

Thanks for the help.

If this is wireless then it might just be a bad signal or something. What is the actual message you get when you try wired?

Take the router out of the equation and wire directly to the modem to start to figure out what is at fault.

It is actually a 2in1 modem/router, so I can't do that.

If you have tried multiple computers, used different network cables then I would lean toward a failing modem-router.
