Title: HELP !! - RRC Radio keeps disconnecting from router.
Post by: G8TLQ on 2013-11-19, 10:46:53

My RRC (Radio) keeps loosing connection with the router... and then rebooting because the watchdog (ping) times out.
I have tried various ping settings but nothing seems to resolve the problem.
The only way I can keep a connection is if I continually refesh the web interface page.
My RRC (Radio) is on a WiFi link.
The router is a BT Business Hub
Can anyone offer any advice .... please?

Try with another router. Use the big brands like Linksys or Netgear, there are never any problems with them.The Ping watchdog is there to detect a system failure and try o recover by resetting, not to keep the connection up. That should not be necessary, it indicates some problem.

Thanks for the reply Mike.
I suspected the router may be the problem,  I will try resetting it.
Unfortunately the router at the remote location doesent belong to me , so  cant change it.

I have seen similar issues with BT Business Hubs at the remote station end. A colleague had also had an identical problem with a BT Home Hub3. I have used Draytek routers with great success but have now gone to a eBay bought Cisco 1801 which on both ADSL and ADSL2+ outshines (better forwarding, QoS etc) all of the ISP branded routers.
