Drops internet connections FVS318N with the newest firmware
Well after updating to the newest firmware. This has turned in to a nightmare. I can't remember how long I've had it but I've always had to reboot it maybe once or twice a week for losing the WIFI...

Then you may check your D-Link by connecting a computer directly to it to check if it is dropping or not. We just need to isolate the issue so that we may know what device is causing the problem.

The D-Link wasn't added until the Netgear started messing up both of them are running on separate ports on the back of the AT&T gateway so they're running different SSID and different ports so niether one should be entangled with the other so far I have been banging the crap out of the Netgear and it hasn't dropped out yet added my laptop to the mix and let it updated all the Blizzard games and the Dell Laptop updates and it's still going good we may have this thing whooped.
Thank You. I'm going to let it run and pay attention to it for the next 2 days I have off so I can tinker with it more.

K move the router back over to take over its duties it worked great all day long until about an hour ago then it dropped the internet the only thing I've been running on it most of the day is wireless I had the wired computer on early this morning but turned them off about 6:00 this morning it is now 4:30 in afternoon. i can send you the CFG file and see if you can see anything that might be a issue but I have it setup as simple as I can make it for me I'm not a IT guy just a poor shmo trying to just keep it work where I don't have to go in there and reboot it everyday or hour. Any ideas would be great.
