Answer 1

When your connection goes down, your router can't get an IP # through DHCP so it places the 192 number where the WAN IP # should go. My Netgear Router does that once in awhile. That is your ISP causing the issue. You shouldn't be losing connectivity so frequently. Your router seems to be functioning properly. Try going throught the initial setup steps when you first configured your router. Hook your PC directly to the modem and use the setup disk that came with your router. Start from scratch is what I mean. I did that once when my router was acting up like yours is, and it resolved the issue. Try it. If that doesn't work then you have connectivity problems, possibly modem or ISP to modem.

Hello

If your WAN address is 192.168.*, then it's a private address assigned by your ISP probably. This assignment is done using DHCP (Dynamic host configuration protocol). If the DHCP fails to deliver the IP it expires and you get a limited connection. Try obtaining your settings from your ISP and set it up statically in your D-LINK router. This should help, but your ISP must agree with it.

Answer 3

Your D-link router may be connected to another router at your location that is handing out 192.168.x.x type addresses.

Answer 4

you might want to bridge your network. this would stabilize your connection. but what type of DSL do you have? what's the brand of your modem?
