I have DSL and for some reason I keep losing connections activity. There are 4 lights that should be lite up whe online, but for some reason the activity light stops blinking almost all the time and I have to turn of the DSL box and restart it in order to get back online. Should this be happening with DSL? I've constantly checked the connections, I've even reinstalled the DSL and this continues to happen. Please help me to fix this problem.
