I recently signed up for BSNL broadband, and installed UT-300R2U modem in PPPoE mode. The only reason I have a broadband connection at home is because I have an IP phone (ATA) that requires broadband, and is connected to the Ethernet port of the modem. The ATA, however, works only erratically. When starting from reset, it works initially, but after some time, it loses internet connectivity, and the registration fails.
I am suspecting that there is some setting within the DSL modem that is causing the PPPoE connection to close after some time (say, due to inactivity). However, I could not find any such option in the modem's settings. Does anyone have a clue?
Strangely enough, if I disconnect the ATA, connect my laptop to the modem, the laptop internet works, and then if I connect the ATA again, the ATA also works for some time (but drops the connection after some time again).
The same ATA with exact same settings works without any problems at my parents' house (my parents also have the BSNL broadband). This makes me believe that there is some option within the modem configuration that I am missing.
Any help would be really appreciated. Thank you in advance.
