Shocked 
loss of connectivity
May 7, 2011 at 2:51 am (This post was last modified: May 7, 2011 at 2:52 am by Oldandeasilyconfused.)
Over the last week, I have experienced loss of internet connection every day. The issue has been resolved each time by turning everything off for a few minutes then rebooting.

I tried using another box for a day;same problem.

Checked with my ISP; no outages. My phone line works fine even if I can't get on line.

I'm using a D-link ADSL2 modem, model DSL-504T. H/W ver:C3. It's about 2 years old,no problems before. I'm thinking it might be a firmware problem.

Going to the D-link page, I found this,which confused me:


Quote:Firmware Upgrade
There may be new firmware for your DSL-504T to improve functionality and performance. To upgrade the firmware,locate the upgrade file on the local hard drive with the Browse button . Once you have found the file to be used,click the Apply button below to start the firmware upgrade.



Current Firmware Version : V3.02B01T01.AU-A.20080827



Where might the file be found? Nothing in programme files.Will I need to create one?

Does anyone know how/where I access the D-link log for my router?

Download the upgrade you shit head, then go into the router backend using your browser... locate the upgrade firmware button and browse for the file you just downloaded.

Your router is also your internet gateway. IIRC you're using a Debian variant of Linux? At a terminal type "route -n"

The default for D-Links is 192.168.0.1 <--- put this into your browser. Default user/ password is admin/ admin

Terribly sorry Frodo,but you're still on my ignore list. However, I'm thinking of taking you off and replacing you with a much bigger dickhead,Statler or that new dropkick.

If that doesnt work then you need a new modem as it has been fried.

If what doesn't work? Frodo is on my ignore list, I can't see anything he posts.

Interestingly,I was connected continuously yesterday from 0730 to 1630.

It's a hard-wired system? You don't have any type of wireless router in there?

Yeah could be wireless interference.

The old git likes to suffer. He'll be moaning on about this at the day center for weeks.

ADSL2; uses my Lan line. Currently no problems for over 36 hours. It's the weekend. The problem is usually in the afternoon, at about 1600. Could it caused by heavy traffic?

Min; What is Frodo saying? I have him on ignore. I'm sure he's a good bloke. Unfortunately, his posts annoy me more consistently than anyone else, with the exception of Statler. However, I see him more as our village idiot than Frodo. NB That's just my impression from his posts,I'm sure he's also a decent bloke in real life.
