I assume there is at least 1 other box connected to router...does it have same issue? Have you updated router Firmware? Auto reconnect enabled on router?

Not an actual PPP connection? Never heard of PPP used for anything other then dialup and mainly through Linux so probably. Also make sure router is set to use Dynamic PPPoE protocol not Dynamic IP Sgt Back it up Soldier [Reply or follow-up to this message] re: PPP connection unstable...

Any noise would be a problem. DSL uses a lot more current than normal phone usage, so any loose wire connections will cause overheating and drop outs. Check all of the phone wire connectors all the way back out to the outside connection box for loose connections. [Reply or follow-up to this message] re: PPP connection unstable...
