Along this thread,
We have had an ongoing problem with slow internet speed caused by
multiple issues, most of which seem to have been corrected over the
past three years with much troubleshooting and with several service
calls.
However, one issue remains and seems to be the following:
During the winter we power down the entire computer system at night
and the inverter goes to sleep. DSL internet speed gradually
decreases over a few days to dial up speeds or worse. We have found
that disconnecting the telephone line from the Comtrend ADSL2 router
for several minutes and then reconnecting it brings the internet
speed back up.
Interestingly, now that the sun is back and the router has been
powered up 24/7 the past few weeks, the internet speed has remained
strong(fingers crossed). It is possible that the internet provider
has corrected something that is coincidental to the 24/7 router
power...... but ..... have any other off-grid DSL internet users
experienced this problem?

Jay,
Offgrid and powered by Outback here as well.
We use the Linksys Wireless G here with our all Mac computers plus
a wireless printer plus wired laser printer.
Him work good and they are cheap as well.

Hi All,
I"m wondering if there are any recommendations for wireless routers
for an off grid application.
The application is mine.
I've used Apple airports for some years with lots of problems.
I've had 2 now 3 go bad, and well enough is enough.
So I'm looking for something that A works, B efficient, and C isn't
an Apple.
Any suggestions?
thanks,
jay
