Default Wanadoo Broadband Dropping Out...

as per title really, if I leave the modem on (its a netgear modem/router) it's fine, however if I come back to it say the next morning, having left the computer and modem on, all the lights are on, but can't connect to the internet. Only way to solve it each time is to reboot the modem.

Any ideas?

I had same problems using DG834G with 1.5000 firmware until I flashed it to 2.10.17 beta version. It has been rock solid since. I'm on Pipex not Wanadoo

It could be either.

I had a similar problem, using the same router on the ISP Bulldog. I could of sworn my router was to fault after the firmware update. But it was the ISP having authentication, and packet loss issues. Now I still see the ocassional drop, but it is rare.
