RBR50 - rebooting daily after internet via wifi drops
(Originally posted to wrong forum; sorry) Since the latest firmware update (2.7.2.104) I've been rebooting daily. Phone connects w/o internet, some devices connect, some have no connection. I've ha...
This appears related to the recent DNS/NTP issue. The router appears to lose the ability to relay DNS requests on any FW version.

Do I need to do anything to do anything under NTP Settings or anything else?
it appears to be a multiple errors to correct
The NTP fix is:
F) Modify NTP Settings:
1-Uncheck the "Automatically adjust for daylight savings time"
2-Change your timezone "east" one hour to accommodate turning off the auto DST.

THANKS - THE FIX IS ON!!!
Done - Unchecked â Traffic Meter
Done - Unchecked â Automatically adjust for daylight savings time
Done - Set preferred NTP server to 1.pool.ntp.org
Fingers and toes crossed this fixes things until Netgear fixes this in the next firmware update or something.

good luck....I would use the word 'fix' around here carefully. It might mean something.:smileyhappy:
