Hi I'm having a problem with my D-Link DSL-2740R router, Since yesterday the Red Internet Light seems to be permantly on. I have reset it several times and everytime I do in connects to the internet for around 30 minutes with a green light but then disconnects and the internet light goes back to red and then I have to reset it again and the cycle continues The weather here is very warm and I think it could be overheating should i move it away into a cooler place or is it another issue Thanks, Danny

the internet light, is usually a blinking green, showing that it's seeing the internet signal. The only reason it's red, is cause there's no net signal..double check the phone line going into the back of your router, and change it if you need to.

Hii,

* If you can connect after disconnecting power and reconnecting, it means there is formation of static charge on modem

* Check whether there is any cordless phone or any other satellite devices next to the modem. If so, move the modem 10 feet away.

* If your modem is placed on carpet, please place it on wooden desk

For guest:
Do you see the power is also interrupted while loosing connection? If so try plugging the modem into different socket. Dont waste money for simple problems.

If this doesnt work, please dont rate me down, if it works, please rate me as fixya!!! lol...

Have a nice day!!!

Hi der... well the issue your facing is simple to say ur power adaptor is faulty. Usually its due to some electrical shorts or maybe some heavy lightnings. You can always have a remedy for it.

1st : Buy a new adaptor.
2nd: call ur ISP to have it replaced if ur still under some contract term or if the modem is still under warranty.
3rd : you can buy ur own ADSL2+ modem from supporting outlets . Make sure ur isp supports this modem.

This are the solutions for ur problem pal.. So make a wise decision.. Any needs and help post it to FixYa..ANd the experts here will fix ya..!

If the internet light is red, it means that the modem cannot get an ip connection from the ISP.

If your ISP has a PPPOE connection, most likely, the PPPOE password is not correct.

To ensure your settings, access the modem through a web browser. In the address bar, type 192.168.1.1.

Default Username: admin
Default Password: password

If this doesn't work, try admin for the username and password. If still doesn't work, you will need to reset the modem. Just hold the reset button for 30 seconds. Then turn it off for 1 minute.

Try again to access the modem, under Configuration, click Edit beside My Connection. Type your ISP username and password then Save.

Hope this helps! Good luck!

With the DSL light always flashing, it means that either the ADSL signal (synchronization) does not reach your modem, or your modem cannot 'read' the signal.

You need to determine if the problem is from one of the following places :

• outside of your house (your land line or ISP equipment) or from the modem;
• your telephone-cable inside your house or
• one of your equipment;

1. Determine if the problem is in your house or on the land line
   
   • Unplug each and every equipment which is connected to your telephonic installation (Fax, phones, answering machines etc);
   • Using the shortest telephone cable (RJ11) you possess, plug only your modem to the main telephone jack of your house.
   • If the DSL LED still flashes continuously, the problem is somewhere between your ISP's equipment and your house. You should call them and expose the situation. At this stage, you can't do much else.
   
   
2. Determine if the problem is in your house installation
   If the DSL LED lights up when it is plugged to the main telephone jack, then it is either one of your equipment which is at fault, or the house installation. To pinpoint the problem, do the following :
   
   • With all the other equipment still unplugged, try the modem on all the other telephone jacks you have around the house.
   • If the DSL flashes continuously on one of the jacks, you will have found the source of your miseries. Depending on your ISP's terms and conditions, you will either have to call them of call for the services of a third-party technician to solve the problem.
   • If the DSL lights up correctly on all the telephone jacks, then your house telephone installation is good. Proceed to the next series of tests.
   
   
3. Determine which equipment is at fault
   
   • Plus your modem to one telephone jack and wait for the DSL line to light solid.
   • Use a splitter (ADSL filter) to plug the equipments you possess (telephone, fax etc) one by one. Verify each time if the DSL LED is still lit or flashes continuously.
   • If one of the equipment causes the DSL LED to flash, it is that equipment which causes your problem.
   • If every equipment causes the DSL LED to flash, the it is the splitter (ADSL filter) which is causing the problem. You can confirm this hypothesis by testing each and every ADSL filter you have in your possession.
   • Replace any faulty equipment and you should have eliminated the problem.

1. Use a power surge protector (not a UPS though) to plug your modem to the electric outlet BUT plug it directly to the telephone jack;
2. Make sure your modem is plugged in as far as possible from UPS, television, etc.;
3. If possible, don't plug the modem in the same electric outlet as other equipments;
4. Don't use any telephone extension cable to plug your modem to the telephone jack.
