Hi All, Thanks in advance for help and advice on this...
Current set up:
ISP:
MTNL, Mumbai, Thane region.1MBPS unlimited
Hardware:
1 PC, 1 laptop. D-Link, DSL-502T router (modem), SMC WBR14-G wifi access point. PC connected to wifi access point with lan cable and laptop connects through wifi to the wifi access point.
Problem:
Frequent disconnection (every 10 mins) even though ADSL line is lit steadily and all other lights functioning normally. MTNL has checked and ok'ed physical line connections and say no problems on their end either.
Observations:
The DSL-502T router settings automatically resets from PPPOE to bridged mode. So if we manually restart adsl router and then change setting to PPPOE internet connectivity starts and goes on for about 10 mins to half hour. Then back to square one. This happens whether the pc is connected to 502T directly or through wifi access point.
Current solution:
We now have connected DSL-502T router directly to PC with lan cable and set router to bridged mode. This is working fine and even connection drops the redial option is activated and we nearly have continous connectivity.
Why we still need a SOLUTION:
The current solution means that i have no internet on my laptop (coz bridge mode doesn't work with the SMC wifi access point and only if pc is directly connected to the DSL-502T). :-( :-(
Please guide!
Warm regards
