[ubuntu-za] Which ADSL router?

[dave.apter]

Do routers die slowly/gradually? Or are they 'binary',  ie either work or not.  I believe the latter. I suspect your problems may lie 'outside' the router.  I experience similar problems to what you describe but my router then repairs itself, for a while,  before going bad again.  I do a lot of manual router reboots during the bad periods (ie daily!), then may not have to reboot for months. ISP says they are not to blame and I don't have the router admin/pwd so I dont/can't fiddle with settings. Will be great to get more insight from the gurus. Thanks&Rgds,  Dave

Good morning Ubuntu,



My 5-year old D-Link DSL 2750U router seems to be on its way out, I have checked the firmware - its the latest. My isp, Afrihost, has reset the port and checked the line, but the router drops its connection every now and again, seems worse when its been working a while and is warm. If I reboot it, the connection is restored but then it disconnects again after a while.



I have been around Price Check and the array of available routers is confusing to say the least.



I have two computers running via ethernet connection and also require a Wi-Fi facility.



Any suggestions/comments please?



Best wishes,



Jan
