Disconnects

[spacemunk]

Been using the n56u with padavan fw for my ADSL connection sometime now and everyday i have been getting disconnections like crazy.

I have 0 knowledge when it comes to networking so i hope a kind soul could help me out please.

Modem - TP-Link TD 8840T
Router - Asus RT-N56U with Padavan FW 3.0.3.1v-027
NIC - D-Link DGE-528T Gigabit PCIe Adapter

Modem - Bridged mode DHCP off
Router - nothing touched except entering userid + password

And at the time of the events taking place
lights on modem - power , adsl , lan are on
lights on router all are on

And also this never happens when i only have the modem connected to pc

Below is the logs on the router

These disconnections is doing my head in. Hopefully someone could help out.

Thanks.

These sound like either an ISP or a modem issue to me, unrelated to the router itself. If power cycling your modem doesn't help, contact your ISP so they can have a look at your line stats.

Thanks RMerlin will look into it

I have had this router for a month and never in my life had so much agro with a router,

the disconnects were relentless and the wireless was dire!!

I have tried virtually every firmware there is and im fairly cute around networks and pcs and have a good understanding.

I have read post after post and thread after thread and the bottom line is this router doesnt like going over 50 Meg,

I have tried the asus firmware and padavans firmware and am spending more time trying to fix this asus crap than actually using my pc.

I have been getting grief from all of the family that are trying to use the internet.

Today i have hit a wall and had enough and returned the router to amazon as i am sick of the sight of it.

Dont be fobbed off with isp issues etc i would say send it back as its a bucket of agro.

read around the net and see the amount of people having trouble with it compared to the amount of people that actually get a resolve to the problem.

you shouldnt have to be fixing £90 router as soon as you purchase it.

/2cents rant over

I also have the same router and I also tried all the firmwares. firmware version 1.0.1.7f works for me as the others firmware had disconnections problems.

My New Cisco is rock solid

and i have also purchased the wireless range extender to serve upstairs,

5 bars all around the house is wicked!!

[dsl2cable]

Which model???

[jaydam]

Cisco E4500
