I have Verizon Online Dsl since 2006 i think. I have the cheapest plan available. Its the 21.99 per month plus tax one. I have 2 home phones but i have filters/splitters on them already. Those phones are not cordless phones. They are regular telephones. Also their pretty old.
However, my dsl disconnects so much every single day. Some days it disconnects for 30 seconds whereas other times it might disconnect for 30 minutes. Today i had about 20 disconnections or so of more than 5-10 minutes unless i restarted my modem and router. Still after every 10 minutes my connection would go dead.
I live in New York City. My neighbor who lives right next door to me NEVER has this problem. He however has a different Verizon modem because he has the 29.99 plan while i have the 21.99 plan. We live in an old apartment building. Its probably 100 years old at least. He however tells me his internet will disconnect for maybe 5 seconds if there is a phone call. DSL isn't suppose to be like this i know. Whenever there is a rain or snow, usually this happens even more. He tells me it never happens to him.
I have a Westell Model 6100 Modem. I also have a Wireless Router the Linksys WRT54G Version 3. In my DSL modem now, the internet light does not flash whenever i am online because I think i made my internet bridge mode? I changed this recently. Before 4 lights on my Westell Modem flash but now the INTERNET doesn't have green. Verizon online support told me it would not flash because i changed the mode i am which is fine. I think you guys know what I am talking about. It's concerning bridge and unbridge mode. They told me now i am going online through my router and not my modem because of my setup.
Anyways, whichever mode i do, my verizon online dsl disconnects way too much. I do not have fax machine or any of those things. I have splitters as well.
Can someone please help? Is there a chance it can be my router? What about my settings in the router? Like the channels, or the mode... G mode, B mode, mixed mode. I really have no clue. Could it be my modem ?
I called Verizon and when they did the line test on me, they told me everything was fine on their end.
