It might be a bit of a silly question, but how do you tell your router to reconnect to the internet? Is it a dial up connection icon on your desktop that you have to double click on and then select connect?

I don't use any dial up connection. If the connection drops I go to the "Voyager 210 Configuration Manager" and select 'Quick Start' and it then reconnects. It will also reconnect by using the router's on/off switch. It is connected with an Ethernet cable.
I ask the question because I read snippets on other forums talking about the 210 and see quotes such as "I lose connection which then reconnects in about one to two minutes." I'm sure I've also read that it can be set to reconnect automatically but can't find where I read it.

ie Can The Voyager 210 router be set so that it reconnects automatically when a connection drops?

I couldn't find anything obvious when I had a look the other day.

This seems to be a common fault with Voyager's - have a look at my post here.
It links out to this article on "The Scream".
The only solution I've found is to swap out the router for a different make (you could get PN to send you one for £6.99 if you stay for a year).

"The modem seems to lose its connection for 10 seconds then reconnects."
"Sometimes it will reconnect shortly afterwards."
I note there are several suggestions regarding the heat which it generates. Eg. siting it in a vertical position where the air can circulate round it. I will try that and see how it goes.
Many thanks to all.
Stan.

All very interesting, particularly Scream posts...Voyager 210 and BT do not come out of it very well. Funnily I have not had a problem with the 210 supplied by PN although it does get hot. Did PN go off to other suppliers because of this situation? If so which are the current favourite replacements? I am Ethernet wired at present but might go wireless sometime. The only problem that I still have, and which has been posted elsewhere without much help, is that mostly my DHCP seems to lie dormant on opening up to the 210 and I have to resort to rejiggng it with Network Settings which then connects me to PN immediately. Could this also be a 210 problem???

I don't think they changed supplier because of that particular situation but the wireless router currently supplied is the Thomson 585v7 (which PN will probably supply you for £6.99 postage if you agree to stay with them for a year).
