MN-700 - Intenet keeps disconnecting

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.broadbandnet.hardware (More info?)

I bet when your Internet goes down you see a PADT in the basestation log
as the last entry.

I see the PADT entries in the log but what should I do to
remedy the situation? Why does the MN-700 disconnect in
this manner while the DLink DI-604 does not?

Thanks,
Nelson

THe PADT terminates the PPPoE connection and there is a problem with the
Microsoft routers that they refuse to automatically reconnect after
receiving that signal. The workaround for that issue is to set the
router to disconnect before the PADT is sent and enable the auto connect
feature.
