Re: Random disconnects with a linksys BEFSR41
new to DSL obviously, that option to get IP automatically is for Cable like from rogers internet, sympatico is DSL and it is PPoE connection
check if you marked on the router setup page 'keep connection' or something like that is there, it might be set to disconnect automatically if it doesn't detect any action for some time (not likely though if you get disconnected downloading or in games)
second thing to do is look at top of this forum at link about updated firmware for your router - I believe it is there for people like you who suffer from disconnecting »Speedstream 5200 Updated Firmware HERE
I would look at the modem first, you have probably used the linksys before and also they usually work ok AFAIK
although you seem to have been getting on with modem in router mode... the bridge mode just passes raw WAN traffic to the linksys

| Thanks Van.
I tried Keep Connection alive and dial on demand options on the linksys router. But I really can't tell if it does any good. The IP change still happens. Heck the IP changes anytime I click save on the Router for any changes. Why I had a feeling it might be the router.
I selected bridge mode so the Router would take control ofo the connection and didn't have to mess with upgrading the firm and stuff. But sounding like i don't have much of a choice.
Does that firmware work for the E240 and the E242?
Linksys is new from the store actually. Haven't used it yet..but i am quite familiar with them. |

Ottawa, ON | I have a LinkSys BEFSR41 /w software version 1.05.00. Absolutely no problems on my end. I have keepalive enabled with a max idle time of 60 seconds. Also, the MTU is set to 1492. Hope this helps. |
