D-Link Router on BT Broadband

[davidjkeller]

Hi all,

i've got a bit of a teaser:

- I have just been connected to BT Broadband (1MB connection).

- I am using a D-Link 504 Router Modem, which i have used without any trouble on a Tiscali broadband line (half MB connection).

- when i test my line using the speedtouch BT provide, my connection is fine, however...

- when i use the D-Link, i keep getting 404 errors on different sites.

this seems to come and go in phases. sometimes i can get on all sites, other times i can't even get on the BBC site.

has anyone got any ideas in regards to the configuration of the router?

is it related to the capacity of the connection?

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

/Dave

Have you asked the Makers about it; or BT?

did you make sure that itll automatically detect your LAN settings.

also if a proxy is required, is it entered in?

thanks for your suggestions - i did all of this before with no luck.

however, i tried a factroy reset as a last resort and set up the config from scratch - and somehow it works fine now!

lots of firmware upgrades on soho routers will mess them up. sometimes it works out but lots of the time it makes matters worse. and also I advise anyone not to upgrade firmware with an SP2 installation. make sure that it doesnt interferre with router settings.
