Hi

I have an RT314 that's been attached to my Blueyonder connection for the
past two and a half years without problems. It's basically the same model
with a switch attached.

What sort of problems are you having? I've know people on NTL with this
model who've not had any problems.

Hi

Firmware would be the obvious first question, what version do you have? You
might also have a problem with your cable modem which cause the connection
to drop and the router not seeing it when it reboots. There are two thing
you can do, first check the modem logs and see if you have any signal
problems or if it reboots when you lose the connection. The second thing is
to use a program called Gearminder from here
http://www.edcheung.com/automa/gm.htm - it will check your connection and
then drop/renew the dynamic IP for the WAN connection.

I have the latest firmware, it happened again last night with no warning and
nothing showed up on my cablemodem logs, and but signal problems would cause
the modem to reboot but nothing happened. Again a reboot using telnet solved
it.

Mine has been working every day for a couple of years (powered off most nights)
and no disconnection/booting problems... other than caused by Telewest.
