I have have dsl through at&t. I have a linksys router that connects to my dsl westell router. And i also have windows vista. Every once in a while my internet will go out. Sometimes for a few seconds and sometimes for up to 5 to 10 minutes. It always happens during a storm and it also happens when it is not storming. When i do have an outage i check the westell router through the web browser and when i check it says that the dsl is down. I dont think the problem is between the linksys and the westell router. I was wondering if any one else has had this problem before or if anyone knows what might be the problem?

My husband had about three westeoo routers and none of them worked. I don't mean to sound unforgiving but he would trade with you for at least a day to get online. I don't let him on this computer because he tends to mess up things and now the other computer is broke.

Your DSL service is being interrupted, probably by the stormy conditions. Sometimes a router needs to be reset after an interruption. This merely involves unplugging it for about a minute and plugging it back in.
