everything has been going great for a few days but today when i try to sign onto the net,the online light isn`t lighting up.....i can connect 2 pc`s to the network with excellent strength but not to the internet ....in the system tray it says "connected to network....access local only".....i turned the router off and tried with my old speedtouch and got straight on so its not a line problem...could anyone help please...in the simplest possible terms!!thanks.....Alan.

If this is the router you bought from ebuyer, I understand it may need a firmware update and also the setting to "remain connected" needs to be ticked.

Edit :- Read the reviews here http://www.ebuyer.com/customer/products/index.html?rb=0&action=c2hvd19wcm9kdWN0X3Jldmlld3M=&product_uid=127679

The advice from cledor was what I discovered by a process of elimination too. If you open up your browser and put http://192.168.2.1/ into the address line, then look at Home Network Settings: Status, then you'll be faced with various numbers and some buttons to "Connect" or "Disconnect".

The main thing to maintain contact seems to be to be to set the connection to "Always connected" in ADSL/Internet Settings: ISP Settings, otherwise there's a 30 minute idle timeout.

There's alway the problem TalkTalk won't fix.
(Apart from the obvious one of atrocious customer service)

Setting MTU to 1400.

google "MTU 1400 talktalk"

There's more info on it somewhere in this forum.

No, that address is the IP address of your router! Why don't you try using the original router again?
