    Hi FURRYe38:

     

    So far so good (very short timeframe).  Also, changed the NTP server from Netgear's to time.nist.gov.  If I continue to have connectivity issues, I'll do the factory reset and re-setup from scratch.  Thanks for your help.

I presume this is still working for you?

Continues to be good for me.  I've noticed some people say to uncheck the Automatically Adjust for Daylight Savings Time.  I haven't done that.  Should I?

    If it's working, leave it. You can try it if you like. Kind of doubt the problem will appear again. Seems like all this was when the time changed last weekend and given the few days, seems to have past. Also been reports of Traffic Meter being another cause. One user I talked with had that enabled. Disabled it and is working correctly now. 

     

    Do you use Traffic Meter any?

    I have the Traffic Meter enabled.  I have not used it for anything.  Most of the numbers in it are 0.  The only item with numbers in it is Last Month.  Should I disable it?

    Ya if you don't use it or it doesn't seem like it's working, shut it off. 

    I don't use it. Seems that TM seems to cause more problems than it's worth. From historical posts, it causes performance slowdowns and was recommended not to use it on 1Gb service lines. Not sure if this was ever addressed by NG.
