Netgear DG834Gv2.
Anyone else having trouble with random disconnections with this router.
Have spoken to Netgear, been through all of their so called fixes, even had
a exchange router, still have problems.
Will have to sell it.
Have also got a Netgear DG632 Which I have had for 2 years, rock solid
connection, never had any problems.
Wanted a wireless router so my wife can use her laptop.
Now thinking of a ZyXel Prestige 660HW!!!!!!

They can be somewhat picky - if the latest firmware, V2.10.22 is giving
you disconnections try one of the earlier betas, I'd recommend 1.10.10.
Either that or you've got a genuine line fault which could be
investigated by your ISP - however if the old router you've got works
fine I'd say it's more to do with the DG832 not liking the equipment
installed at your exchange.
If it's a marginal line causing your problems you can tell from the ADSL
statistics within the router's config page. A low up or downstream noise
margin will cause disconnections, so you should monitor this to ensure
it remains above 6dB at the very minimum.

That's out of limits for 2Mbit (43dB attenuation) - you may find that
during the evening the downstream noise margin drops further and is
causing you to experience these disconnections. Some routers handle low
SNR better than others, but my DG834G holds a 2Mbit connection down at
5dB SNR for short periods so it's not the model in general that's the
problem. F2S should be able to run some line tests to see if there's
something obviously wrong on that side of things.

Thanks Alex
Mailed F2S to get them to check the 43dB attenuation thing.
Might have to back to 1Mbit again.

Alex, my DG834G 2, is rock solid using 1.05.00 firmware. I suggest you use
this version, if you want it reliable. Regards
Tony

My experience has been the opposite. Have been using 1.05.00 firmware
for nearly a year, and it's been reliable. Then the line was upgraded
to 2 Mb/s and we got random disconnections. So I changed to the
firmware to the latest v2 and it's been more or less ok since.

Try turning off logging on your firewall rules.
