TrueMobile 2300 - automatic reconnect when losing connection?

Two suggestions - make sure you are using the latest 2300 firmware - there was a new version to address WAN IP negotiations with ISPs, what you are experiencing.  Secondly, log to the router (192.168.2.1 in IE) and look at the WAN settings - you want to get an IP address automatically checked - if there is a setting for how often make it less than or equal to 24 hours.

Thank you for your answer. I didn't find a download for a newer firmware on the Dell website, where do I find it?

I don't find a WAN setting as you describe it.

Not all routers have the WAN settings like that - there should be the ability to tell it to get its IP address automatically.  I just found the 2300 User Guide online and it is not very informative on this.

Thank you for the link, I installed the latest formware now.

As far as I can see, the 2300 already gets its IP automatically, but that doesn't prevent that, when my ISP cuts the connection after 24 hours. it stays offline until I do the reconnect via the http://192.168.2.1/index.asp interface of the 2300. I heard that many routers have a function "reconnect when connection to the ISP is lost", but there seems to be nothing like that in the 2300.

Hopefully the new firmware will fix that for you - it did for attib customers.
