Hi
I have now re-installed the firmware update and set the router to
factory defaults then re-configured as I want it.
So fat it has been stable for the last 24 hours - it only lasted 4 - 6
hours before.
DHCP is set to allow dynamically 6 - 22 with 2 - 5 static.
Seems Ok but I will keep an eye on it.
What concerns me over the weekend is that my 2 main computers worked
100% as they should but my FTP-SERVER even with the correct address
would NOT connect to the Internet via the router nor could my server
backup unit (just waiting to swap the old one out) everything else on
the 2 machine worked Ok just wouldn't connect - would talk across the
network with the 3 others but not to the outside world. Mine and my
wife's were both 100% as they should be.
Weird - as I rebooted for the last time before throwing out the window a
little icon appeared on the tray saying "Internet now connected @ 8.1M"
happened on the other computer too!
