Re: Recommendation required for ADSL modem + 4 port Router

["Richard Parker" <mr.richard.parker@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Stewart,

Not really sure; might be worth a shot trying to borrow another modem from
a
friend before you invest in a new one, since it may not be the modem itself
at all, rather the line. All I know is that from past experience the
netgear
adsl/wifi stuff is really flaky; sometimes it works and sometimes it
doesn't. But when dealing with line drop outs there is always a bunch of
stuff that could be the problem.
