ADSL modem/router
Hi all, we currently have a Netgear ADSL modem/router being used in a school situation. As soon as the number of users reach a thresh hold level the modem/router falls over and needs to be restarted (about every 15 minutes). Is there any one else running a successful solution in a similar environment. What modem/router are you using? We are about to toss the Netgear equipment off the top of the highest building... We have downloaded the latest firmware and upgraded 2 of these items but still experience the same problems. regards Eugene de Gouw Coordinator of Computing Helena College Senior School PO Box 52 Glen Forrest Western Australia 6071 PH: : +618 9298 9100 FAX: : +618 9298 8616

Does it only happen under heavy load? Or does it happen even under light load?

I feel that it is likely that something else is happening. I wouldn't think that if the modem fails because it's for example running out of port numbers to allocate, whilst doing NAT, it would do 65536 connections in 15 minutes. That would be 72 connections per second. But I might be wrong.

It does not fall over at all overnight, over the weekends or after school when the traffic is light. During these times it can do heavy loads, downloading. It appears more to do with the amount of traffic rather than amount of data moving through the router. Eugene
