FVS318G dropping DNS server settings
I'm having problems with the router keeping its DNS server settings. I have optioned the router to provide the router with static(fixed) DNS addresses. The operational DNS addresses that I refer...
Hi jwol,
Kindly answer the questions below:
a. If you connect a PC directly to your modem, does the internet connection drops?
b. What is the current firmware version of the FVS318G?
c. Are there any changes in your network setup recently?
I look forward to your response. Welcome to the community! :smileyhappy:

Hello.
Here are the answers to the questions you asked.
1. The basic internet connection is rock solid. It is a cable modem that has very high reliability. Obviously I never connect one PC directly to the modem. I would have to configure the modem for an altenate static DNS (I dont know if the modem even has this function) and then leave this connection active for an extended time to determine if there was a similar problem. I wouldnt be a able to do this as my entire network would then no have the internet. Again, this DNS address is the function of the router.
2. Firmware version is 3.1.1-18, I believe the latest available.
3. No changes in the network that I know of. The problem has been occuring for months. Sometimes I see it "happen" while actively using the internet.
Thanks for any help.
