Hi Pete,
it depends on the router your using, to find any settings that could be
changed for you I would need to know the make and model no of the router
I have settings for several different routers that I manage for myself
and other people, so perhaps if yours is a model I know / have worked on
I may well have some config changes that could help,
HOWEVER if the BT line its on is in the least way "noisy" poorly
configured at the exchange then no amount of tweaking the router
settings will help.
and with BT it's normally easier to swap the isp to one that provides a
static ip address, as I have already said you will get a far better /
much less hassle with a static ip than with a dynamic ip address and its
really easy to swap providers cure the problems the easy way.
what you could also try is a new adsl line filter / mains filter for the
router, I had a line filter die for no apparant reason and it really did
make a mess of the connection, so that's always worth checking, I also
found a mains filter / spike protector made a difference on at least 2
other routers I had looked at.
