| 625506 | 2007-12-28 23:57:00 | Hi, I've got a D-Link ADSL 2+ router generation II DSL-502T and every time I turn on my modem it takes about 5 minutes for the ADSL light to turn on and remain on ( as in not blinking anymore). The other lights light up quickly ( the power, ethernet and status) but the ADSL is the only one with a problem. It begins to blink for a while then stops and goes off and then it blinks again for another while and goes off again. After about 5 minutes, it goes on and stays on and that when I can use the internet. Can someone please tell me what is the problem and how can it be fixed? I am currently connected to slingshot. Thanks Michael |

| 625509 | 2007-12-29 07:10:00 | I have a D-link 502T and it works well, no problem. Supplied by kindly old Telecom/Xtra. | oldguy (7868) | ||
| 625510 | 2007-12-29 19:23:00 | I have used D Link 502 T for a few years without any problems. I NEVER turn it off. After I turn on the computer each day, the D Link 502 T takes about a minute to power up before connecting. | Oldferix (5581) | ||
| 625511 | 2007-12-29 20:27:00 | Because its a router, and an external device, as has been mentioned you're best to leave it turned on, even if your Desktop PC has been powered-down for the night. Of course if you were power-concious and going away for a few days / weeks then you could power it down, but yeah... ;) | Chilling_Silence (9) | ||
| 625512 | 2007-12-29 20:43:00 | Generally my router gets left on 24/7. Have just come back from a weeks holiday and the router had been left on all that time. Though as said, if you are power-conscientious, do turn it off. However for day to day, I would say the power usage would be minimal (even when being used) |
