    would be a good idea to post your line stats first, give us an idea of what your line's like. Also, you can use routerstats and DMT to monitor your line to see when/what's happening when you lose connection...turn the light on before stabbing in the dark ;)

    A Netgear 834GT. They're good and solid things.

    I'd be looking at the microfilters first though before writing off the Netgear.

    yeah, and normally hang onto sync at very low snrm, hence why I asked OP to post line stats and try monitoring line first...may well not be the router at all :)
