    Netgear Dg834g-disconnected

    With my ISP, I have been experiencing this problem between time to time (not frequent), I do not why that Internet gets disconnected suddenly. What I used to do, is explained in the pic below:

    I used to press "Connect" button (please see pic above) to reconnect ADSL router again.

    Well I can't give you a definitive answer, however, your routers firmware is extremely out of date. I had some disconnection issues with the same router. Updating the firmware sorted out for me.

    They are up to version 4.01.28 for UK and 4.01.27 for outside North America and UK and 4.03.04 for North America:

    The version that I have got is V1 (latest firmware is 3.01.25), and I have updated the firmware from 1.0.3 to 3.01.25, let us see how it will go, then we can move on after that.

    Make sure your connection is set to "Always On" and not "On-Demand"

    I have seen that option in my other router (Linksys), but I could not find it in NetGear!!

    Could you please tell where can I find it in NetGear, if you have came across it ?

    It should be an option on the first page that opens I believe.

    Yep, I had seen that in the first page under "Idle timeout" option which is described below:

    An idle Internet connection will be terminated after this time period.
    If this value is zero (0), then the connection will be "kept alive" by re-connecting immediately whenever the connection is lost.

    Look on Ebay for Cisco routers---I have a 2620XM that provides for me an awesome firewall, VPN server, and a LOT of other neat things.
