Disconnection issues, help please! Any ideas what might be wrong with this?

If you are using a laptop and running windows xp, this is what I did: go to control -&gt;power options -&gt; power schemes -&gt;always on.

I haven't had a problem with mine at all. I would probably do what another person suggested. Unplug it for awhile, and then try it again. Sorry I can't be more help.

Found the issue: my router. For some reason, my router was not allowing connected devices to see each other: ie, I can not ping my other PC's or the printers. Oddly, my XBOX 360 worked fine, as did my PS3. Both access files from my networked PC's. Anyway, under the guidance of the Brother support (which is pretty good), I resetted my router and all is good now. Sweet.

I have the same problem, have had the unit for about a year and this began happening rather abruptly. I purchased the Connector suggested in another answer but it did not fix the problem.

I figured out what my problem was, I had to disable the firewall off my router and then it was able to connect. I enabled the firewall back again once I was connected and I haven't had any problems so far, but I haven't turned off the player yet, so it might do it again. But at least now I know what the problem is and how to fix it.

Same problem....wants to disconnect constantly. Loose at the hd device itself.

I had the same thing at first, reset the connections, then make sure the screen doesn't lean to far back on reinstall, that pulls the cables. Or it's bad.Good Luck

Just started having this problem too, multiple times per day. Had internet tech come out - he said it's not the cable modem or internet connection, so it must be the router or the yellow cord that connects the router to the modem. He said the cord was wrong anyway - it was for a DSL, so he replaced it. Not sure if that will fix the problem though. I'd hate to have to buy a new router.

My router started doing the same thing - random signal drops for a short period, but enough to lose printer and scanner connections.Suggest you call their 800# - sorry don't have it on me - you should have received a welcome email from Mediabridge with the #. They'll arrange for you to get a replacement unit. They stand behind their product - good people. That said, if my next unit has the same issues we'll be having a money-back conversation! Good luck.

If you look at some of the other reviews they outline the problem. The device loses connection due to it not having a power source. It gets mixed signals from some devices like video game systems.

I've never had this issue. The only time I had any connection issues is when I was connected to a surge protector. After plugging directly to the wall socket, the issue went away.

Signal strength may be the problem. Hard wire the unit to the computer and see if it disconnects. Also check the computer settings to see if it powers down certain ports or aspects of operations while just playing a movie every 20 minutes.

Only thing I can think of is make sure everything is properly connected. A connection could be loose

I haven't had anything like that happen, there will be some pauses but only for a millisecond. I would check your connection and if that doesn't do anything, contact the seller. Could be defective.

We've got the same issue here. We're thinking that it's a cabling problem and continue to search for the answer. Please post any solutions! Best!

I am having this problem too. I tried the power reset and tried playing with the screen to reestablish the connection, but neither worked. Are there any other suggestions out there?

Hi Samuel! I really can't think of any other solutions, but maybe resetting your router? Try that and see what happens. Sometimes resetting can help in most situations! Like, I said I don't have any issues with it, though! If that don't help just ask around to see what works! Hope that helps!
