Re: Weird Disconnect Issue 
I always keep it set to Always On.
It could be Pogo cutting me off in this particular game even though they don't notify people like they do in other games. |

It would help to know if the "--Device restarted--" log entry happened on its own, or if you manually restarted the modem (and when did the game server disconnect occur in respect to the modem restart).
What I see in the log you posted is that it took a couple of retries to make an initial connection (although it connected within 30 seconds) and that it has been up for 5 days, 22 hrs: 27 mins: 45 secs.
If your only symptom is that your are being dumped from a game server after a period of inactivity, but everything else works, the most likely cause is that the game server is simply dumping you after a period of inactivity.
One thing you can do to troubleshoot is to open a command prompt window and do a continuous ping to att.yahoo.com to see if that drops when your game server drops you. The command (assuming that you run Windows) would be ping -t att.yahoo.com. If the ping test also loses the connection, then your internet connection is dropping, if not, then the game server is just dropping you. Since this apparently happens only after an extended period of inactivity, you may want to modify the ping test command to ping -t att.yahoo.com > pingtest.txt. If you do this, you will not see anything displayed on the screen for the ping test, but the results will be saved in the file "pingtest.txt".
You can also setup Line Monitoring here at DSLR to see if your connection is actually dropping (although since it polls in 10 minute intervals, it may not detect a dropped connection that immediately reconnects).

Lebanon, TN | My problem is similar, except for the fact that my disconnects are EXACTLY 3 hours apart, almost down to the minute. I've got my modem set to Always On, and it still does it.
Here's what the log shows everytime it gets disconnected

The reason for the drop will need to be determined by further troubleshooting. You probably should start your own thread rather than having two counterproductive conversations going on in this thread.
