I have an ag300 and the DNS forwarder is a bit broken so you are better of not using it and stick with putting the DNS entries on each PC. The device uses a very old 2.4 kernel and a very buggy DNS package. Also be very careful with ADSL2 connections as they can cause many stability problems. Cheers Brett. Michael McDonald wrote:
Like Jamie, I've been having problems with my Dynalink RTA1320 modem/router. I ended up replacing it with a Linksys AG300. That seemed to fix the problems, but ... about once per day access to the Internet gets cut off.
It's easy enough to restore functionality. All I have to do is (a) power off/on the modem/router, or (b) disconnect/connect, or (c) add my ISP's DSN servers to the network tables on my computer.
In other words, it appears to be a DNS problem. The question is what's happening?
I've put my ISP's DNS addresses in the router/modem's setup (makes no difference).
When DNS name resolution via the router fails, all computers on the network fail to access the Internet.
The timing of the problem doesn't coincide with the monitored with the monitored burglar alarm "phoning home".
Any suggestions on what the problem is or what to try next?
