Hello.
I have a Reliance Wireline broadband connection. It's the kind where I have to log in on the Reliance page once to access the internet. If the internet is idle for sometime (20min I think), the session expires and I have to login again. Even if the internet's in constant use, the session expires after 24hrs, at which point I have to login again.
Now, when I connect to the internet via my LAN cable, it's smooth as butter. But when I plug the LAN cable into my wifi router (Buffalo, rooted with Tomato firmware), things get sketchy. The internet *does* work. I have seen the login page and actually surfed the internet via wifi for sometime, but the problem is it's not smooth. After sometime the internet will stop responding and I won't understand what to do. Google Chrome gives such a message -
When I remove the router for a bit and access via the LAN, it works smoothly again. And I have done this enough times to discard it being a coincidence.
Something's definitely not right with my wifi settings. And I am a noob when it comes to Tomato firmware so I have no idea how to rectify this problem (which revolves around DNS, I'm guessing). So, can any of you point me to the settings on my wifi router I need to change so I can use wifi smoothly again? It would be a huge help!
