I have the MN-700 router. Previously, I used a DLink 604
wired router and the DSL would always be connected even
when the internet connection was idle for a day or two.
After switching to the MN-700 router, I now have to wait
for the router to connect to the DSL service everytime I
do not use the internet connection for a few minutes.
The internet connection drops quite often, usually after
5 - 10 minutes of not using the connection. I do not
experience drops when I am downloading or using the
connection constantly. The idle times are set at over 60
minutes.
Also, my upload speeds are now below 80kbits (using MN-
700) when they used to be 130-140kbits (using DLink
router).
The firmware is up to date.
My setup-
---------------
SBC PPPOE DSL
2 wired computers (win XP Pro and 98SE)
Speedstream DSL modem (can't remember model #)
MN-740 XBox adapter connected to XBox
