I often had the Internet LED flashing. Often the DSL light was off
completely till I got the new router. But like I said that seems to be
fixed now. Good to know about the issue you had with the termination
point. If the problems come back I'll definitely check that.

For me it was my DSL connection and moisture.
I complained to TekSavvy about erratic behavior. I had many visits
from Bell. They tested the signal quality many times (one even left me
house having forgotten to reconnect my service). Line changes were
proposed. The DSL frequency profile was adjusted. Capacitors were
suspected.
In the end an ace from Bell solved it. "Your line was connected
outside the local termination point and not inside it, I've fixed that"!
And he had. The problem had come and gone, depending upon rain, but
not in direct correlation with it. Go figure.
PS
Months or years later, my connection would momentarily drop
periodically. The TekSavvy support guy asked me what the Internet LED
on the SmartRG modem indicated.
Its flashing I said.
Then reset the modem he said, that's an error state.
I did, the LED went OUT and I have never been troubled since.

I'm trying to solve an issue I've been having with my Teksavvy DSL
router. For some reason over a couple of weeks my connection
degenerated to the point where I may have had connection to the
internet for about half a day. I called Teksavvy and got connected
to Bell who said the line looked ok from their end. They said it was
probably the router. I doubted it but Teksavvy sent me a loaner
router. And voila my connection was immediately better. Before buying
a new router , after a couple of days with the loaner I connected the
old router and now it's working fine again with the old router. I had
tried resetting and disconnecting and connecting the old router many
times before getting the loaner and it didn't make a difference. The
appearance, which makes no sense is that connecting the loaner router
temporarily fixed my connection issue to the point I could use my old
router again. Can anyone make any sense of this?
