BTW your ISP or Internet Service Provider is Sympatico.
I take it you are in Canada as the USA doesn't do PPPoE over cable just
for some of the DSL customers. Also I remember Sympatico customers
living in Canada while I supported the MN-100 & MN-500.
Next time it stops working sign into
http://192.168.2.1 at the first
page after typing in your password it will list your firmware version.
If you then go into security then basestation log I bet you will see a
PADT (assuming you didn't do a power cycle on the router before signing
into it). If that is the case you will need to go to the "Wide Area
Network (WAN) Settings" page and set the "Maximum idle time" to
something like 600 & enable the "Auto-reconnect" if it isn't already
checked.
You may want to check out these articles over at
http://support.microsoft.com about PPPoE as it will explain the
different stages of the PPPoE connection.
