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...

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.

DCrusher,

 

Thank you for that information. May you be able to reset it to factory default then try to run it only by the default settings so that we can check if it is a hardware problem.
