If you're using the latest firmware, this is the issue. Read the other posts regarding the lasted release. Complete disaster.

nope, rolled back to 2.0.76, same issue. Stable after the initial factory reset, then, once it reboots itself (memory leak?) it **bleep**s the bed and runs really slow no matter how many reboots you do. Pathetic.

i have tried 3 of the current firmware versions, all with the same result. The router keeps rebooting. Both units were at 2.0.74 when I got them from Bestbuy. This is why I upgraded them booth to V2.1.1.12 and they still reboot randomly.

If your hardware is rebooting I suggest contacting support they will be able to troubleshoot the issue and RMA the unit if needed.
