Re: DLink DKT-710 Tiscali Internet Disconnecting
Log into the router by typing its IP address into the address line of a web browser (firefox & the like) on one of the connected PC's (probably 192.168.1.1) dig around in the routers configuration pages - there may be a setting that tells the router to disconnect after x-period of time - set it to never or whatever. some of the other settings may give options to 'redial' and need to be set as high as possible.
Only guess mind! - let us know how it went  |

| Thanks for the reply, not getting a lot of help with this problem, I'll be popping around to my friends house tommorow and have a nosey around in the routers menus to see if there is a connection setting to determine the length of time the internet connection is maintained. |

| I have a D-Link 300T
in the menu 'Setup', section 'Connection', I have two features. One called "Keep Alive:" that I have set to 99999 mins
and the other, is a check box labeled "On Demand:" which I have un-ticked or blank if you like.
I don't think D-Link vary their software interfaces that much between models... |

@btcentralplus.com | I was back at my friends house the other day and could find no setting limiting the amount of internet time, the only setting with a limit was the DHCP IP Lease time which was set to 24 hours, presumably it resets everytime a PC logs onto the LAN. |

| MMmmmmm I have to say I'm a bit stumped. I don't think the WiFi is an issue or the DHCP lease time.
On My D-Link, I do have something similar happen but it is a random occurrence - namely that despite it saying everything is connected on lights and interface, in reality it isn't. a good old re-boot usually fixes and I have tried a replacement model with the same s/ware both act the same.
Speaking of which, have you checked the firmware or software version is current on your router there?
dig about in the support section of the D-0Link web site and compare the version installed on the router to that which is current - you may need to flash it up to a more current version... |
