Configuring R6300v2 and FVS318Gv2 for home wired and wireless network
I need to set up a wired (Ethernet) and wireless (WIFI) network in my home with ADSL Internet service. I have a separate modem (TP-Link) connected to a wired router (FVS318Gv2) in a media cabinet. ...
Hi JoeBart,
Welcome to the community! :)
It seems that the internet connection is intermittent through the FVS318Gv2. I suggest you to upgrade the firmware of the FVS318Gv2 to the latest version 4.3.5-3. You can download it here. Be reminded to perform a factory reset on the FVS318Gv2 after upgrading the firmware then reconfigure it from scratch in order to start clean using the latest firmware version. Then, observe the internet connection through the FVS318Gv2.

I just want to follow-up on this. Were you able to upgrade the firmware of the FVS318Gv2 to the latest version 4.3.5-3 then factory reset it and reconfigured it from scratch? If yes, how is your internet access through your FVS318Gv2?

Yes I did the suggested tasks. My Internet has been stable since. I forced a loss of Internet and the system reconnected when I reconnected it. Now I am waiting for my ISP to drop it as they have done so many times in the past. Of course, when you want it to happen it doesn't but only 1.5 days have passed. Eventually we will see if it recovers from an ISP drop out. By the way, was one of the fixes incorporated in this firmware upgrade an improvement it the ability for the FVS318Gv2 to recover from an Internet drop out or did you just want to make sure I was up to date prior to trying other fixes?
Thanks,
Joe
