Im back with another BEFSR41 Router question

[walks]

Just a quick one, My internet cuts out from time to time using certain programs like MSN, Yahoo IM, mIRC. It seems to just disconnect instead of staying online all the time. It never used to do this with my Netgear Router and I was wondering if it possibly had anything to do with a setting within my Router or with my ISP? However I have the same ISP, Im just moved to a different city. The connection I have is ADSL.

Is there anything that could be done to fix this??

walks,

Make sure that the "keep alive" is enabled on your router with a low redial period (30 seconds?) and that "Connect on Demand" is not set.

Hope that helps.

Thanks so much, it was set on Connect on Demand with a 5minutes time limit

Walks,

Here's a site you should check out for your DSL. It can help benchmark your speed and diagnose if your getting a slow connection.

What happens if I set the redial period to 0?

walks,

Haven't seen any references to this but 30 seconds is generally not noticeable.
