Re: [LUG] ADSL modem/router woes

 

My ADSL routine?

a) Turn on pc, wait for happy blinking lights and desktop.
b) open firefox
c) access one or two pages, usually google.
d) realise that it's died; again
e) type the address of my router into the address bar
f) if it's dead, get up and physically reboot the router
g) if it's working, use the interface to reboot the router
h) hope that around lunchtime the effing ISP and my router have sorted
out their respective dissagreements.
i) randomly attempt to use the net once every hour or so, swearing
under my breath and wishing for my old 512k connection that just
worked.

I have a netgear router, but it doesn't matter what brand I use, they
all crash and burn out here in the sticks.
