I have an Asus RT-66U running Mernin 3.0.0.4.374.33, behind a Thompson TG585V8 DSL router, configured as a bridge, to Telmex DSL. Thus the authentication is by the Asus/Merlin thru a PPPoE connection, thru the Thompson bridge.
I am getting frequent disconnects. My Asus log for a typical disconnect is below. I have replaced the Telmex DSL router/bridge twice, and Telmex has rerun the line from their pole into my house, and says the DSL signal is good. On the Telmex DSL router/bridge I record SN Margin 22/16.5 (dn/up) and Attenuation 6.4/1.7 dn/up, which Telmex says is within spec
Every time I see a disconnect/restore I see a different IP address in the Asus/Merlin log, as in pppd[330]: local IP address 189.177.242.180 remote IP address 200.38.193.226. These are Telmex IP's - I assume remote IP is the address of their DSL server and local is the WAN IP they assign to my router - but I wonder if there's an IP change on their end that's causing the disconnect???
Can someone provide ideas how to fix this?
Thx, Gus
