connection drops problem!

[crizby]

Hello Guys I'm new here and i really want some advices about my Internet connection which is driving me crazy.

i have a modem from my ISP which is made by them but have the same look and firmware as TP link TD-W8951ND.
my problem is i'm an online gamer so when my connection drops it drives me crazy i have 8mb connection here is the results of my speed test
http://beta.speedtest.net/result/6725008037
and my internet light button goes off for 10 seconds
and that's my config in the attachments.

How frequently does it drop? Might be an idea to get Telkom or your ISP to reset the port.

Dns is irrelevant to the pppoe session being dropped.
This is a line or port fault.

He says the Internet light goes off. DNS is really not relevant....

Yes I know. Don't you think I know that? Deleting posts, too much drama here now.

How does the router decide whether there is internet or not though? Does it use the fact that there is an IP address and gateway assigned? Does it try and ping an IP? Does it try and ping a domain name address?

I would suggest enabling the logs on the router and trying to see what happens during and after the ppoe connection

Internet light shows an active pppoe/pppoa session. Session drops, light goes off.

Is that for all routers?

Every Adsl router I have ever used.

Not true. In bridge mode the light doesn't do jack.

Is the router establishing a ppp session in bridge mode?

I have found in the past that some routers are more tolerant of bad lines, so see if you can borrow another make/model and see if that helps. Billion were good in my case. And get your port reset. Seriously.
