Basicly ive noticed that ever since getting the samsung box installed about a year ago my internet connection will drop and restore it self at random intervals roughly every 5-120mins when using my internet connection constantly (e.g. P2P or playing an online game).
When using a p2p service it happens most frequently, especially on programs like azureus (bit torrent) when there are a large number of peers/seeds connected or if my upload is maxed out, though it has been known to drop the connection even with only one peer connected and no upload.
When playing games it is much less frequent and the pauses are only normally momentary and will quickly restore to normal. However connection disruptions are still present and still often dont restore quickly enough and will result in me being ejected from the server I'm playing on. It also happens more often if two or more people are playing from my house on the one internet connection.
Basicly from what I can tell the fault seems to be related to using even slight amounts of upload (as p2p uses small amounts of upload for protocol). Yet odly I can download through IE all day long with no disruptions.
I was going to mention this in one of the other sections of the forum but since it seems directly related to the installation of my newer STB I thought I'd ask here.
I havent rang up CS yet as I wanted to know if this was a common fault that maybe I could do something about beforehand, or maybe even something really obvious that ive overlooked like a broken ethernet cable etc.
My PC is hardwired to an Origo 108Mbps wireless turbo router wich is in turn connected to the silver samsung box on 3mb (though it has been doing this since back when it was 1mb). This setup worked fine on my older Pace 2000 box before the upgrade.
Thanks in advance.
