Hi,
I bought this router the other day. I notice something that is a
little weird. When I first wake up and try to check my email, the
internet is dead. The light on my DSL modem is red and Seamonkey
can't check my email or load a webpage. If I unplug the
router then plug it back up, it works fine. It seems that after a
while the router cuts off the internet for some reason.
I need the internet to stay alive even when I am asleep. I run
folding and it sends data without asking me and some other stuff is
running as well. I have looked in the settings of the router but I
don't see anything that will change this. Am I missing
something? Is this normal? I used a router once before and I don't
remember this being a issue.
I also updated the firmware and it still does it. Feature? Wrong
setting? Router broke?
I've had experience with only two DSL routers, but they both have a
settable
timer which shuts down the connection after N minutes of inactivity. I'm
guessing that yours has a similar adjustment, but dunno for sure.
I called myself looking for something like that but I can't find it if
it is in there. It is annoying. It would be OK if when I wanted to go
to a url, check my email or folding wanted to send in data, that it
would start back up. Thing is, I have to restart the router to get it
to work. I mean actually unplug the power and then plug it back in.
I'll be looking some more but not sure where else to look. I'm hoping
for ideas.
