For some reason, ever since i reinstalled windows, the router keeps resetting itself, i think it may be the network card. Any help?

Router is a Billion 6404VGP i believe.
Network card is an onboard Realtek 8168 PCIe GBE Family ethernet adaptor.
 
Sounds like a possible power problem. The computer waking up or powering up draws enough to make the router's power supply drop voltage just enough that the router can't stay up. You can try plugging the router elsewhere.

Edit: If you have a CRT display, that will have a sharp wake-up power draw.

I don't think so, it happens after the wimdows XP loading screen. The network card does have a standby mode though, it may reset when that comes on. Wait, no it only does it when i log on after turning it on or coming out of standby. I'll try reinstalling the drivers.

No dice, the Realtek support site is useless. :grumpy:
