Linksys WAG120N problem

same router model, same firmware, and same problem.

I don't think it's related to the game, this is happening a lot with me, and always thought that someone missed with telephone line.
now your post makes me worry...

Wise adsl, tripoli, Tall central.

same router model, same firmware, and same problem.

change the MTU to 1400 and also change the DSL Modulation to ADSL2+.( in place of multimode )

Did that years ago. Didn't change anything. It's a known fact that the WAG120N is not a very good modem. It's all over the internet. I'm considering changing it as soon as Wireless AC routers get cheaper. Thinking about a single modem with a high end router.

Didn't try that, but anyway the problem gone! don't know the reason it occurs or the reason it is gone.

BTW while ago I had this idea, to install a separate modem and connect it to a high end router. Then i had a better one, use a router OS on some old computer and install a PCI modem.

But now, I want to buy a cisco router and install a ADSL module, that should be an overkill for a home use, but well... :)

what do you think?

get a decent high end adsl router with AP capabilities .. why paying so much on cisco ?

I already have another modem in my closet somewhere. I'll use that and get a high end router instead. It'll cost much cheaper

the cheapest cisco router + adsl module ( you cannot find ADSL module now but the more expensive ADSL+2 wan module ) will cost you about 400 $ .. try a mikrotik routerboard instead

Hey Guys,
Off topic here.

Can anyone please explain to me the difference between a Modem and a Router?

in short terms :
Router : allows multiple devices to connect
Modem : allows you to connect to the internet
most modern routers now have interchangeable router/modem capabilities

So,
The Thomson that i have, is a Router and a Modem?

yes , it allows you to connect to your ISP and in the same time interconnect all the devices ( by wireless or wires )

Maybe I'll try both

The modem is the device that will Transmit and receive data via the existing telephone copper line, while the router is basically a device that will connect multiple networks together.

Actually what we call a DSL/ADSL router is combo of: DSL modem+ Router+ Switch+ AP with sometimes other things like firewall...

DNA wrotei really don't understand why you guys buy high end adsl routers for such a slow internet and for only 1 to 5 connected devices,
i have 2 30$ routers that perform more than excellent. the dlink 2730u and now using TPLink TD-W8951ND

@m_zeid why would you need a high end router for such a slow internet connection and low number of devices, come on man your even thinking of routerOS and Cisco boards and modules, dude there is no logic in what your saying, you should only think of these routers if you have a 1Gbps connection that your going to route to at least 50 other devices.
go grab a 35$ router from pcandparts and your done and stop giving yourself needless headaches.

guys please don't waste your money on High-end Aps/routers/Adsl routers unless you got 200mbps+ internet connection or you wish to setup network storage and media streaming.

weird right?

Well at first I love experimenting! It's not that i need it's just that i want to try it. I know and as i said, it's an over kill.
I don't know why but I have about 8 computers in my home, one or win7 the other for win XP and one for Ubuntu...
Will do some security testing on these very soon, and maybe i'll get more + VMs

so not that much low number of devices, and for the connection i'm looking for a solution and the simplest one is load balancing with 2 adsl connections.

I'm currently studying CCNA and it's nice to have a router to play with, hands on not packet tracer simulation.

this is a very obvious and basic advise : get a better phone filters (phone line splitters ) I remember from my times in IDM 5-6 years that this was the issue in most cases
