Connection Drops

Hi all, I have noticed that my connection drops out around once a day/every other day. If I leave the router alone and watch it the lights go out then come back on. the red internet light comes on for 30 seconds and then it goes green and all is well again. The whole reboot takes around 5 mins.
Just wanted to ask is this normal. Also it could be happening more frequently but I would not notice cause I am not on the internet all the time.

HI Seamo,
do all the lights go out on your router?

No just the dsl and internet lights. The wireless light may have also gone off not sure, did not notice. The ethernet lights stayed on.
Its a d-link 2640 router.

Re: Connection Drops

Hi Seamo,
I see there have been a few disconnections. If these aren't intentional I would have a look here for some tips on how to troubleshoot it.

Re: Connection Drops

Hi Jo,
thanks for the prompt reply. The link you gave me said one of the causes could be the telephone line and our telephone is still with virgin (it gets swapped over to you guys tommorow) so I think that may be causing the disconnections as we have had nothing but problems with the phone since swapping to them.
I will monitor it for now and see if it gets any better once our phone line is with plusnet.
Again thanks for the help Jo.
