FVS-318N; FVS-318Gv2 and Arris
User SamirD may have found a correlation in this long saga of the FVS-318N and FVS-318Gv2 not managing a cold boot. It may have something to do with being connected to an Arris modem; one easy 'fix' ...
Very interesting that a router in between is getting these units working correctly.
And it's not the cable modem, but the configuration of the head-end equipment by the isp, typically made by Arris.
Does anyone have a Frys nearby? This $20 managed switch might be able to act as the filter and allow the 318G to work normally:
Or order it from newegg:
These managed switches should be able to 'filter' the packets even if they aren't using any other managed switch options. Cheap fix to the problem.
You'd have to go back 2 versions. Problem is that the last two updates include major security updates that upon removal makes the router vulnerable to major security holes being explored in the wild.
I've seen the problem more than 2 version back; but one reason I'm very reluctant to try is that there is a version that requires tftp to update and I don't want to do that again.
