NTL Connection or WRT54GL?

Guys

I keep losing my net connection? Sync & ready are stay on with my NTL 250 modem send and rec flash but nothing works?

I have a brand new WRT54GL with Tomato 1.06 firmware, do you think the router is faulty?

Help!!!!!

Sounds like the modem is ok. Remove the router and connect the modem directly to one pc. You will have to reboot modem (off for 30secs) so it communicates with the PC ok. If it works ok then its the router, if not its modem

Good call, will test that now!

Have you power cycled the modem ?

Yup..

Couple of times now, I put the latest version on the linksys firmware on and it's been fine for a couple of hours so we'll see.

Failing that I will take the router out of the loop and then I should have an answer!

On a side note, thats the same router i have and i use DD-WRT v23 SP2 firmware and its pretty solid.

I've been loosing my connection recently, i wonder if it's ntl/virgin, I'm using dd-wrt and rebooting the router in the firmware ususally sorts it but sometimes it can be down for hours at a time. I've scheduled a reboot in the firmware every night which seems to have helped.

Well it's just gone again, first I lose internet on my IBM Z60 downstairs then I come up and my main pc is offline?

So router has been taken out now, we'll see how it goes now........

I have a feeling it's the router BUT I could be wrong!

EDIT: Did a live chat with Linksys and they pointed out that I should reset fully after putting new firmware on? Hold for 30 secs, power off and hold still for 30 secs, power up still holding for 30 secs...lol

Done all that and reconfigured it so fingers crossed
