[Gllug] ADSL modem -- WTF?

[Mike Leigh]

I have a similar problem but mine is the DG814.  I sometimes have to reset
the router with a hard reset as it locks up.  I do have a wireless AP as
well but this seems to just be fine.  I have the latest firmware and I have
had problems over the last 3 weeks.  I last flashed it maybe 2 months ago.
I have moved house since and am thinking it is something to do with my line
/ isp as it used to stay up all the time.

I even have a script running ping every 60 minutes to a number of domains
and ip addresses and still i lose the connection and have to do a hard
reset.  I cant even log into the router from a web broswer or ping it.

Does anyone else have similar problems.

Mike

Yes, but the problem is nothing to do with wireless reception, it works all
the
way to the summer house in the garden through 3 brick walls. Like I have
said
in the previous mail the problem is that the router firmware is a bit crap
and
crashes the wlan connection, I mean the flashy wireless light on the front
of
the router goes out and the router says that the wireless is down!
