Router/Modem Auto Connect is basically a feature o modern day ADSL equipment which re-establishes connection automatically in case the connection gets terminated.. i ve not experienced manual reconnection so cant comment o dat.. itz default is ON.. n why off it?

    matath honda wireless router ekak kiyanna balanna... gaanna nan aduma wenna onna na normal price awulak naa
    If u buy a WiFi Router ( us robotics 14,000 +/- ) U must buy a WiFi PCI card ( us robotics 6000 +/- ) for ur pc. If u have a WiFi Ready Note Book or PDA, definitely it will worth. But if u dont have its only a waste of ur money.

    IF u buy normal router, later if u want u can connect Wifi Access point to ur home network.

    v knw it doesnt mach.... bt it happens some times.... and data nt transferin hapens too i had those scenarios thats y i use adsl auto connect SW which will chk adsl conn... i dont hw dees scenarios wrk wit router(adsl)

    Dude, this usually happens after 10 hours. The ip address has to change after 10 hours (SLT). But when it does, sometimes the modem doesn't disconnect, but the ip address it had no longer works. So what you can do is make the router refresh the connection after 9hours and 59 minutes or so. With my modem, I've used ADSL Autoconnect to do this. I'm pretty sure a router has this option in its setup.

    I recommened to anyone who's gonna get ADSL, not to buy a modem. Problems "can" arise because of problems with the driver. With a router, there is only a hard link between it and the PC so software issues will not cause any problems with the connection. Besides, they aren't that expensive than a modem. Maybe Rs.1000 more. The only downside they have is that they have to be provided with power externally.

    But does it make things fast or less buggy. The only difference that I have seen after increasing the maximum simultaneous connections from 10 to say, 50, is that the event viewer won't add a warning entry about it. I haven't had any problems with only 10 connections.

    Few Hints when u buy a router for Home and office networking

    Make sure your router has inbuilt DHCP Server(which gives IP address for every connected PCs)

    buy a modem with inbuilt ADSL modem so you wouldnt have to set up ur user name and password everytime when your modem unpluged or reset.

    If you buy a D-Link WiFi router, you can replace its antena with powerful D-Link external antena and extend signal strength upto 2Km range.

    I am having that auto disconnect problem. i leave my machine up 24/7 and usuelly i have to reboot my router at least 2 or 3 times a day. because all the n/w activity stops suddenly. i guess that IP address change is the problem. is there any application which does the rebooting thing automatically if the connection is lost... i can reboot my router(USR 1907) from the web interface. so it should be possibel for some little app to detect the loss of connection and then reboot the router, i guess...

    And by the way i have set up 5 entries in my virtual server config in the router to allow some torrent downloading apps and some p2p apps work nicely. But i feel that after i add thees entries it slowed down my router a lot??? can something like this happen?

    Isn't a router suppose to automatically reconnect when the IP address refreshes? I thought the problem was only with modems.

    tckrockz : are you having the same kind of router or is your router a USRobotics one?

    Anusha : i think the router get connected automatically but all the applications that are running in the system get confused when the ip changes???? i guess....

    yes anusha ur correct with routers its will connected automaticaly if its disconnected,but i think this guys some times reseting there routers thinking that the problem is with the connection,but its not ,the only thing u should have to restar ur router is because of router stucking thats why u need to reset it,its not because of connection drop.

    i thought of this router stucking/freezing thing but my router(and many others too.. i guess) runs a small scaled down version of linux inside. so i gave the freezing thing a second thought :-)

    But anyways thees cheap routers must not be so good with handling so much bittorrent traffic + p2p traffic....etc so it may be the reason.

    But anyways is'nt there any kind of automated way to resolve this problem?
