frequent wireless drop

Using Westell 327W and DSL, have recently experienced frequent disconnects in wireless connectivity at home. I get the yellow triangle and exclamation point and must disconnect and reconnect to get back on. Occasionally have to reboot the router. Is it going bad, or something need to change?

1. It would help to see transceiver stats connected to the NID as well as your present setup

2. Do you notice any static your phone line when it happens?

3. YOu probably need to get an upper level tech to monitor your line, this should lead to a visit by a technician or at the very least a modem replacement.

4. Are you getting good speed via a wired connection?

Visit http://192.168.1.1/ for us and do the following:

a) If you see a Blue and White Westell page, mouse over Troubleshooting, go to DSL, and choose Transceiver Statistics. Copy and paste the information on that page.

b) If using the Red and Black Firmware: Go to System Monitoring > Advanced Monitors > Transceiver Statistics. Copy and paste the information on that page.

c) Try visiting http://192.168.1.1/transtat.htm which is a direct link to the Stats on older modems.

d) If you need a Username and Password, try the following:

admin/password

admin/password1

admin/admin

admin/admin1

admin/Serial Number.

By Serial Number, I don't mean type in the words Serial Number. I mean find and type in the serial number found on the bottom of this router.

Thanks. No static on phone line. I'm thinking it is a failing router. When I direct link with ethernet I don't have any dropped signal. The speed is not the best, but we are using multiple computers in the household.

This may be my next step. Or, since I'm leasing the modem/router unit from Verizon (and it's about 4 or 5 years old) I may just request a new unit.

Thanks for helpful suggestions.
