Hi everyone. This is an issue that has been driving me crazy for the past few weeks. I've got a Motorola cable modem connected to a D-Link DIR-300 wired and wireless router. A couple of PCs and two laptops are on this network, mainly using the wired connection but sometimes the wireless.

Every now and then the connection just drops totally for a few minutes or it goes incredibly slow (below 56k speeds), so Google for example will take three or four minutes to load if it doesn't time out.

I've asked my ISP if they are having issues but they say everything's fine. I reset the router and went through all the setup steps again but this dropped connection still happens randomly. After a few hours, or by the next morning, it seems to have corrected itself.

I know very little about routers and logs but some of the lines are:

Aug 9 21:43:58 chillirun: test_ping: no reply received for ping packet to 202.160 (etc) - half a dozen of these messages
Aug 9 21:38:27 chillirun: web ping successful
Aug 9 21:38:27 chillirun: child 'wget' exited with status: 0
Aug 9 21:36:22 chillirun: executing: killall -17 chilli
Jan 1 00:01:00 chillirun: config file '/var/run/chillirun.conf' is invalid...
Jan 1 00:01:00 chillirun: child 'wget' exited with status: 1

I rebooted the router so I assume that's why it goes back to January 1 before correcting itself to the right date but I might be wrong.

These are some lines, interspersed between other similar messages. What the hell is 'chillirun'? A search in Google returns nothing unless I try 'chili run router' in which case I get some stuff about Linux and unsecured routers.

Is my little home network being hacked? Should I call the ISP or D-Link customer service? Is it improperly set up?

Thanks in advance for any help.
