I have a small home network,
I have a DI - 624 router connected to a DSL 502T Modem (MTNL Triband), my PCs are connected to the router. The internet is working as expected but since last one week my internet goes down and up frequently (every 20 mins). The strange part I have to restart the DSL Modem every time this happens. This implies that the internet connection is there but the router loses the DSL Modem some how.
My Router is the DHCP server and its LAN Ip is http://192.168.0.1 [My PCs dynamically takes the ip from the Router. ]
My DSL Modem is also set as DHCP enabled and its Lan IP is http://192.168.1.1
The router is set to the get dynamic ip from the ISP.
After much trouble I was able to contact a chap from MTNL who seems to knew abt networking, he said that the Router and the DSL Modem should be in the same IP Family. ie. both should have 192.168.0.xxx or 192.168.1.xxxx. Is that true?
I am not fully convinced about his view on IPs as the same setup was working fine and even today the internet works once the modem is restarted.
Please help me as i am totally confused. Am i doing something wrong? Any setting issues or its the MODEM or Line problem. Interestingly i also get a disconnection and reconnection (NO need to restart the modem this time) when i receive and do a phone call.
The MTNL Help is a disaster, i have called almost 20 numbers now but no assistance whatsoever.
Please Help!!!!
