Here is my network:

I have IPTV over an optical fiber connection. Just wondering if the disconnect has something to do with it? What can you tell me just by watching the syslog?

Thanks

Hello lfbb, i also have that ONT but is only connected to ASUS router.

You use VLAN for login, right ?

I also do and i have those disconnects too. Somehow/somewhere there's a bug that the router doesn't detect that WAN link is down and doesn't renew the connection.

I have to restart the connection or router to be back online.

Some bug i hope someone fix.

I have to use two routers because the Thomson (white one, ISP property) doesn't handle the Internet connection properly. If I download torrents or play MW3 in PS3 all the connections go down (Internet, IPTV, phone), I have to restart the router. That's why I bought the Asus router, it solved all my problems. I've disconnected Internet in the Thomson and plugged the WAN port of Asus to one of the Thomson's LAN ports.

EDIT: An explanation of what I did:

2. LAN to WAN – Connecting one of the Ethernet ports (LAN ports) of the main router to the Internet port (WAN port) of the secondary router.

This type of cascading requires the main router and the secondary router to have different IP addresses. This connection makes it easier to identify which router the computers and other devices in the network are connected to since they will have different LAN IP segments. However, computers that are connected to the main router will not be able to communicate with the secondary router, and vice versa since there are two (2) different networks.

NOTE: Before you connect a Linksys router to another router, make sure that both routers have different IP addresses. This is necessary to avoid conflict and connectivity issues in the local network if they have similar IP addresses. In this case, you need to change the IP address of the secondary router.

Is there something i can try to solve my problem ?

I'm at work and noticed my home connection is down ( guess my home ISP changed IP and the router hasn't noticed it )

Someone ?

Thank you

Edit: Some more info:

I can ping the router (I have that option OFF, i'm sure) but cannot access home server as usual.

Problem solved:

I was using DNS's 62.69.62.6 & .7 here in my work and they are taking ages to update. So i guess i was pinging the nest client that got my old IP ?

Using ISP DNS and everything is ok now.
