Although that could be the issue I'm more worried about if I'm going to be able to determine if the line is the issue without tools.

This come from the way the modem work on the phone line. A conventional modem (14.4, 18.8) use the higher frequency bandwidth of the phone line like the voice use. This is easy to troubleshoot because if you can hear it, you know there's something and that's the reason that the line dropped if someone else was calling or opening the line for a call while using it with a conventional modem.

However to be able to have voice and data going through, they needed a way to do that and DSL modem use the lower frequency bandwidth which is inaudible to common human ears.

So I'm wondering if those lower frequencies are disturbed when higher ones are (and I believe not which make difficult to troubleshoot without appropriates tools). Unfortunately for that I'm no physician to confirm.

Still I'll try it, does not lose anything but fear of the "irrelevancy" of results.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,21172153 Fri, 26 Sep 2008 10:57:39 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,21171955 anon : Yes it does happen rarely though. Need to check if both issue correlate. (If connection drop *only* when there's noise on the line)

Might be the root cause (or one of them, hope not) but if I remember once it has horrible noise but didn't lost my connection.

Still I will track that more carefully whenever I'm there and it's happening.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,21171955 Fri, 26 Sep 2008 10:23:33 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,21168903 Mountaineer1 : Yes,your ISP should be able to do a line test & determine if the line has problems. Do you have any static or funny noise on the telephone when you recieve calls?

One question though. If I would lose sync because of line noise or something similar, should the ISP knows it from the log? Or is it impossible to track for them?]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,21165745 Thu, 25 Sep 2008 08:58:39 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,21143490 Mountaineer1 : »DSL FAQ »I keep losing sync.

Do you know what's the protocol name? I'll read a bit on that to have a better understanding on how it works. I might find something out of it.

I know having a second piece of hardware is often the best solution but that would be difficult unless I buy another modem.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,21142655 Sat, 20 Sep 2008 17:56:46 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,21141535 Mountaineer1 : It sounds like a modem sync issue,too me. Do you have another modem,or can you borrow a modem to test with?

What I've noticed when a disconnection occurs:
- ISP's logs does not show me as disconnected.
- Modem WAN light is not blinking (for SLAM connection)
- Modem ALM (alarm) light is not lit
- WAN is not accessible
- Both computers connected via LAN using the router are accessible and can see each other and exchange files without issues
- Rx PPP TERM_REQ code appear in the Router Log
- WAN Router Status is "Connecting" (not connected)
- Windows on all computers does not "lose" the connection with the router

I suppose the router has something not well configured / defective / issue communicating with the modem / a virus but I would be very surprised by the latter]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,21134135 Thu, 18 Sep 2008 22:12:44 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,21133503 Mountaineer1 : So you're losing the connection between the router,and the PC card?]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,21133503 Thu, 18 Sep 2008 20:07:21 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,21133105 anon : An ongoing issue that I was tired of but never had much time to spare on it. When it's happening, I disconnect and reconnect the router (5 sec delay on average) and the connection is brought back immediately (well the time Windows need to reconnect on the router, the little animation of the network connection in the systray)

Yes everything is analog.

I've plug my modem directly in my PC.
Internet was available and tried the admin password (without success, I'm the only one who can change it so I'm wondering why it has changed, the modem was new when I bought it)

Then I've switched back with the router, Internet still accessible.

After these two switch (router -> modem -> router) if I tried to plug my modem back in the pc, I'm unable to gain access on the internet :( even if I reboot the modem and disable / enable the network card.

However using the router, internet is accessible right away.

Each time the code "Rx PPP TERM_REQ" appear in the router log, the WAN connection drop and it try to get a new IP from the ISP. During disconnection, all my lan connections are available though and I can access the router via a browser locally (192.168.x.x).

I've contact my ISP and my log prove that I was connected while disconnection occurs between the router and the modem.

I've googled about the "Rx PPP TERM_REQ" code but unfortunately, not much.

From the Linksys site, I should have the latest firmware for the router revision.

Does anyone know what is sending this, why and how this can be overcome?

Thank you]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,21129806 Thu, 18 Sep 2008 08:11:13 EDT
