Hi,
Over the last number of weeks our internet connection has seemed to be pretty slow (768k dsl so it was never a speed demon, but it was good enough.
Over the last few days, it appears that we have been having our WAN connection dropped. I have NEVER, since 200 when I first got DSL, seen this happen before.
Im running DD-WRT on an ASUS 520 router. It is running v24 mini software, which is dated 5/24/08. I have the router reboot once a week for good measure, but cant reall reboot the modem, which was supplied by verizon.
When this happens, usually the WAN IP address goes away for a few minutes, then comes back. The modem shows all lights for this time. I have in the past unplugged and replugged the modem, but this does not seem to really help - maybe it does, maybe it does not. Certainly does not provide long-term service like it used to.
Ive tried using the "connect" button on the DD-WRT software, but at best it gives me an error that says that something is disabled. Also, messing with the connect button seems to take the router out for a few seconds, as it drops connection to my computer and I then have to manually re-establish the connection over wifi.
Any thoughts? Is this a sign that my dsl modem is flaking out? Is this just bad service from Verizon? I know at times cable internet used to be horrible service-wise, and it would take hours to get a connection back. This is shorter interrupts than that, but it is still pretty lousy...
Thanks!
