Linksys WRT54G and Verizon DSL connection problem!

[tenchi]

I just switched from netgear MR814 wireless router to the linksys WRT54G and I am getting disconnected from internetrandomly. The router won't reconnect back automatically. I have to go into setup every time and try to do manual connect. I never had the problem with netgear one. The dsl modem is Westell 2200.
I upgraded the firmware to sveasoft one too, and probelm still happens.
Anyone have the same problem or any suggestion, please?

Any help would be great.


Thanks.

Try disabling wireless and hook it up wired and see if you still have same problem.

The problem still happens 8(

Did I get a bad router? the firmware i used is the alchemy 6rc1 on http://wrt54g.thermoman.de/
Should I try another firmware?


Thanks

Did it do it with the "offical" firmware? I've never had a bit of problem with it,

I had a similar problem with my connection through SBC DSL. I network using Netgear and it would connect and all of a sudden dump. SBC told me that it was because they broadcast a dynamic IP and for the connection to work with my router I need a Static IP.

? sbc uses pppoe right? thats what i set my router to and it works.

Would you be willing to tell us what your settings were on the old Netgear router? I have the exact same setup as you did, and I'm having some issues with it.

Thanks a lot, and take care.

That's a lie...







If you never tried it with the REAL firmware (IE what you are supposed to use) don't start saying you have a bad router. Try it with the newest Linksys/Cisco firmware and see what happens first.

There is a known wierdness with SBC DSL, I think. Or maybe that was the AOL broadband DSL. One of the two. Something about their requirement for a non-standard PPPoE connection, that made some routers puke.
