I've recently swapped to BT 2 meg Broadband from AOL 512.
BT have issued us a Voyager 205 Router and we are intending on using the PC as the main connection, and my laptop networked in from my room.
However we have discovered the extension from the main socket to the PC is ruining the connection, so at the moment we only have the laptop in the lounge, plugged into the main phone point.
The connection is fine to begin with but after about an hour or so it'll cut us off, only letting us back on after switching the router on then off, and letting it run thru' diagnostic.
The cut off time varies, the longest I have been on without being cut off is 90 mins, the shortest about 20. Bt have suggested re-installing the software which has been done a few times, checking the connection (also done with filters in place), and trying the connection without the phone or other items plugged in, which has also been done.
Can anyone suggest any other ideas?
