We use 2 Cisco 800 routers for our VPN connection from our main site to our satellite location. The 800 at the satellite location needs to be reset at least twice a week due to it dropping connection. Is this a sign that the router needs to be replaced? And if so, is there a way to copy the configuration of the old router to the new router?
Are these connected via ADSL? We had issues with our Cisco 877s and the Alactel chipset not playing well with the new 21CN BT DSLAMs in the UK.
You can upgrade the DSL firmware which makes it more stable but we have moved to the 887VA with the broadcom chipset, this is certified with our service provider.
Thanks for the responses.....maybe a bug is the issue. It happened again yesterday where I had to remotely restart the router. Users at the satellite location use the vpn to connect to our terminal server, the program that is installed on the TS seems to be the big issue. When users type in the TS program, it literally takes 5-10 seconds before the characters appear. However, if I restart the router, things work fine for roughly 24 hours before the issues come back.
