Aright, this shall be my final update to this topic, I promise. I think I finally figured out the problem. I was running firmware version 1.44 on my Linksys BEFW11S4 router. I decided to upgrade to firmware to version 1.45z. I downloaded it and flashed the router and it completed it successfully. I hopped back on the server that was cutting me off at 11 1/2 minutes and now it disconnects me at 7 minutes, 30 seconds! Well, what an improvement! I reproduced this result with at least two servers. I disconnected the router and hooked up my cable modem directly to the PC and reconnected to the same server and ... NO DISCONNECTS! Now I only tried it on one server, but this problem definitely seemed to be router related since the disconnection time has gotten shorter after the flash update.
After some advice from the Broadband Reports forum, I changed the MTU value on the router and this was the results:
MTU 900: Disconnection at 7 minutes, 30 seconds
MTU 1462 (default if it's set to disabled I think): Disconnection at 7 minutes, 30 seconds
MTU 1492: Disconnection at 15 minutes, 30 seconds
MTU 1500: Disconnection at 15 minutes
I was getting pretty desperate, so I did a hard reset on the router and bang, I played 30 minutes right through on the server that has given me so much heart burn! Let's hope this pattern continues. Whew!
