Cable Forum - View Single Post - [Merged] DNS (ARP) dropping frequently issue on 20M service

I've just found out that the router can use a ping test to determine the viability of WAN1 instead of ARP, so I'm going to try it using that. Downside is that pings always seem to work throughout the dropouts so it may not be an adequate test to cause the switchover to WAN2.
FYI the network connected to the router has a Vista 2 Core laptop (suffers LESS) down to an old PC running W2000 (suffers MORE) - I put this down to the Vista TCP IPv4 stack being more robust. If only I knew what was better in the rewritten stack it might help screw this bug down tighter.
