Thanks everyone for the quick replys... I turned off the stay alive feature in DXBase while connected to a mega cluster last night and was pleased to see that I was still receiving spots. But as Firebrick says while connected to a local cluster that is not as busy it goes brain dead after awhile. I did get into the manual of the router and saw that adjustments can be made to it such as max idle time and if set to zero it keeps the internet link "Alive" all the time. So far this AM it looks ok, but will give it alot more time to prove itself... I will keep everyone updated on my progress...
