Reset Internet Connection With Cisco675

[jennuhw]

We have a Cisco 675 for DSL through Qwest. Anyone else having problems with having to turn on and off the router to reinstate connection with the internet? We have to do this about once a week depending on traffic. I have been told that it is a 'memory leak.' Questions? Comments?

Has the DSL circuit been tested to your facility? What is the up and down rate? What is the maximum? Lets try to eliminate a dsl problem before replacing equipment. Jeter@LasVegas.com

Yes, this problem has plagued a client who has a 678, who had Quest's Adaptive Rate DSL owing to distance from the CO. One would hope the unit would re-establish its connection should the line quality dip below usable levels.

Presumably the timer setting in the software is set to max?
Does anyone know about PPoE drop outs and reconnection?

We started having the problem when we upgraded to a 4mb connection. Any thoughts?

I have had problems with the ip number changing on my network every hour or so.
I had to unplug the cisco 675 modem in order to get back on the network.
Qwest say its Cisco call, Cisco say its Qwest problem.

Your Cisco 675 is susceptible to the Code Red worm (and a few other nasties). You should upgrade the CBOS to 2.4.2.

Go here to read about it and learn how to get the updated CBOS.

We just found out about the upgrade today and did do it already. Hopefully that fixes our problems with rebooting it!
