Greetings

I have a BIPAC 5100s modem for my Maxnet 2mb/512kb service. It seems like I have to reset it quite a bit when it hangs. Other than having to power cycle it several times a day the performance is decent.

Has anyone gotten a better modem and seen reliability/performance improvement over the 5100s? Is it worthwhile? Can't determine if TOT etc is providing a flaky connection or if the modem is to blame.

Any advice?

FWIW am in Chiang Mai

My modem (TOT supplied on TOT 2Mb ADSL) is the Bipac 5210S. Haven't had to reset/power cycle it at all.

Obviously, connection speed is variable - but I put that down to traffic fluctuations.

Not the same modem or provider, but a similar problem.

I was having to reset my KSC supplied Zyxel modem/router on a regular basis. I noted it got slightly better with the aircon running, fitted a b00dy great (70mm) fan on top (having cut a hole of course) and the problem went away :o

The router is still reset at 3am every morning (it's on a cheapo timer) and everything's been hunky-dory for well over 18 months :D
