I have been enjoying uniterrupted boradband for a few years now, supplied by BT. It is ADSL.
Never had to even re-start my modem/router during that time.
However on Sunday at about noon, I lost the connection. Couldn't get it back.
I am using a Draytek Vigor 2600We (now end of life product).
Filter is a faceplate type on the master socket into the house.
Changed the filter and no joy. Connected the mopdem/router directly to the master socket and no joy.
Phoned BT ( a call centre in Asia) and they advised that they did a line test and the line is fine and there must be something wrong with my modem/router.
Now it is a few years old (about 5 I think, maybe more) and I have never had any issues with it.
I will try and test router at a friends place to see if it is the router but anyone ever had a Draytek "die"?
Also, how can I tell as the 4 port ethernet switch seems to be working fine. i am using a special UK firmware for the product released by Draytek.
Any help or advice gratefully received.
