Please help me my new windows 7 PC will shut my DSL modem off when it enters sleep mode. This is a real problem due to that it effects all of my other wireless components
 
Solution


How is the computer and router and DSL modem getting power? Through a surge-protector or battery backup?

Have you changed the way things are configured recently?

Try unplugging the router from wherever it's currently plugged in and move it to a standard wall outlet and see if the issue continues.

thanks for helping. I am using a wired Ethernet connection. I am using a Adsl router that is wired to a wireless router and from there is wired into my pc.

If the DSL modem is directly connected to the PC via ethernet, why does it matter if it shuts off?

because when my modem shuts off I lose the use of wi fi in the house.
