[RE-wrenches] wireless routers for off grid

[jeff Wongstrom]

Along this thread,

We have had an ongoing problem with slow internet speed caused by  
multiple issues, most of which seem to have been corrected over the  
past three years with much troubleshooting and with several service  
calls.

However, one issue remains and seems to be the following:

During the winter we power down the entire computer system at night  
and the inverter goes to sleep.  DSL internet speed gradually  
decreases over a few days to dial up speeds or worse.  We have found  
that disconnecting the telephone line from the Comtrend ADSL2 router  
for several minutes and then reconnecting it brings the internet  
speed back up.

Interestingly, now that the sun is back and the router has been  
powered up 24/7 the past few weeks, the internet speed has remained  
strong(fingers crossed).  It is possible that the internet provider  
has corrected something that is coincidental to the 24/7 router  
power...... but ..... have any other off-grid DSL internet users  
experienced this problem?
