Netgear ATA Question

Colm_OReilly · 2006-08-08 19:20:58

Hi, I've a Netgear ATA and am using blueface. When I get the orange flashing light I notice I can get the service back by shutting off the PC, unplugging the ATA, then plugging it back it. My question is, can I unplug the ATA while the machine is still on without causing the PC to melt down? Thanks, Colm

Yes. Your PC will lose internet connectivity while the ATA reboots but that won't affect it unless you are downloading a file or something at the time.
