Topboy is quite correct - phoning the line, or better still making an outgoing call on the BT line line will re-establish an ADSL link which has 'gone to sleep' , in fact you can hear the ADSL being re-established as you make the call on the earpiece of the landline handset.
Nothing to do with the router ( I have a linksys ) great little unit - but occasionally I will come
home - no Internet - I just phone my mobile from the landline, don't even need to answer the call - and you can hear the ADSl coming back to life - I don't know why it works but it does
