Problems with Zyxel Prestige 650R-33 ADSL Router

Hi, I'm currently having problems on our LAN with the Zyxel Prestige 650R-33 ADSL router.

We experience problems connecting to hosts, but as soon as a connection is established, all is well. Streaming music, downloading files, playing games etc. works fine as soon as a connection is established.

I'm thinking the router has trouble managing us all, we're about 15-16 people on at the same time on a 8mbit/840kbit connection. I'm not able to monitor if there's someone using all the upload speed, but I don't think that's the problem since we were able to get such high speeds when a connection first were established.

All in all it seems as if new connections is the problem. If you have experienced this, or you have a similar router with almost as many, or perhaps more, users and you're fine, PLEASE tell me! :confused:

    Is it possible the router may be having difficulty finding the DNS router?

    What I mean is, when the router senses the ip connection, it requests ips from the dns router. Until it receives this information it will not be able to communicate with the WAN. Once it receives the information from DNS, it then starts to send your individual requests and all will work fine... so, this may be a ISP issue. This could also be an issue with the router, I guess without getting too detailed I could suggesting doing a full reset on the router and see if it works right away with no special setup.

    We disconnected all but 5 users and now it works flawlessly. It could be DNS related, although I wouldn't know too much about that.

    If it is DNS related, would that mean I could test this by typing in the IP address directly..? If it works fine while typing in the IP, but it fails with www.somehost.com that should indicate DNS problems, correct?

    Just to check, there's no cap on the number of users the Prestige 650R can handle? I have found no evidence of this in the manual, but I like to check all possibilities.

    On the other hand, if it is DNS related that would explain a lot.

    could be something weird with your dhcp settings in that it's got a cap on the number of IP's it's handing out.

    Nope, found it about an hour ago and now all is resolved.

    MsBlaster and idiot users was the problem, the latter part being the serious issue. Seems only half of us has: Anti-virus, AdAware and use Windows Update.

    Either of the three would have stopped blaster.
