penny arcade resets my router!!

Conroy BumpasConroy Bumpas Registered User regular
can anyone help. every time i go to www.penny-arcade.com my router resets. make a click and turns back on and connects to the net.

happens with every computer plugged into it. and every wireless device i.e iphone

i dosnt happen with any other website or game or anything. only the main pages or penny arcade. and it happens every time.

my router is BT 2700HGV 54 Mbps 4-Port 10/100 Wireless G Router (2Wire 2700HGV)

my computers have all diffrent spec and operateing systems. there is also a switch betweent 2 of the computers and the router, but the 3 computer is directly in. but happens from all the pcs.

if you type into the adress bar on any browser the second you click go or press return it resets , or if you click on the link in say google it does the same.

im totaly baffeled

    being able to get to these forums but not to the front page of the site would seem to preclude any DNS/ISP issues (assuming the forums are hosted in the same place anyway.)

    I would probably reset the router to factory settings and then reflash any firmware updates and see if that resolves it

    hold your head high soldier, it ain't over yet
    that's why we call it the struggle, you're supposed to sweat

    i can get to the pages it just takes ages coz the router resets every time it changes page. eg

    i type in www.penny-arcade.com. is i hit return (click) and it resets
    as it powers up it then loads the page. i then click a link and it resets again and when i boots up it then loads the page. and so on.

    also happens from google and bing. seems that any pages by penny arcade do this. i have not found any other web pages or sight that does this. im relly confused

    It could just be some weird defect in the router. Years ago, I had a Netgear router that would reset almost every time I turned in a quest in World of Warcraft. That was so bizarre.

    That's just your router trying to look out for you, SteevL.

    OP: Maybe try the User Issues subforum?

    Do you have full access/control of your router?
    Can you set it to output its logs to an FTP site? Most residential routers I've seen clear their logs on reboot, so setting it to output to something external's pretty much the only surefire way to see what is going on.
