It was definitely one of the DynaLinks as I have two colleagues who both purchased the same model DynaLink modem and both had the same problem where the modem would hang regularly.

I think it was the RTA220, but not 100% certain.. but you are right I don't think it's the model you refer to

139290 2003-04-27 09:23:00 Well I might as well give my vote for the Dynalink RTA300 (www.dynalink.co.nz) ADSL Router as well. As mentioned before, it does come with the wireless option (model RTA300W)

Shop around for the best price though, as I found it varied considerably.

Gamma Computers (www.gamma.co.nz) has both the 300 and 300W model for a good price. They were having trouble getting stock in at one stage so I ended up buying my dynalink from another source.

If you are wanting a local supplier, do what I did and ring Dynalink Sales and ask which resellers stock that model in your area.

Cheers

That was due to a faulty capacitor that may have caused the connection to drop out, this was actualyla software fault...

Maybe they were just two unlucky buggers lol
