Re: bouncing connection and a netgear router..



Strider,

From your post, I gather that she has DSL service from her local
phone company. Those DSL filters are suppose to filter out Internet
packets so there is no interference with when making a phone call.
What she needs to do is put the filter on the phone line, and then
connect the phone onto the filter. For Internet connections, all she
needs to do connect DSL modem straight to the phone line, router to the
DSL modem, and finally computer to the router without any filters on it..

hope it helps.

Yes, she carries DSL from the local telco, namely Alltel. Her wiring is
in good shape, she keeps filters on all the phone lines, and has the
modem directly connected. Mainly, what I'm trying to do is establish
that there isn't a problem with her router before we contact the local
telco and request a line check up to the NID.

My main concern is that the bouncing only occurs in the use of
streaming programs. Her wireless connection does not show the variances
I have seen with Dlink's, which affects the whole connection in
general. Use of Streaming apps, such as IM's and Internet Radio are the
only things affected.

My strong belief is that it's an outside wiring issue, probably a bad
slick card. She maintains the problems at all times, but it seems to
amplify whenever moisture could be an issue (rain). So, before we run
to Alltel crying foul, I want to ensure all other possible avenues have
been checked.

Thats why I'm checking with everyone on here to see if anyone has
encountered the issue before with this brand of router.

Thanks,
Jon
