Fvs318gv2 connectivity issues
i have a fvs318gv2 with the latest firmware installed 4.3.3-6. It works great for about 10 minutes then it crashes. After it crashes I can ping it, but I can't access it through the gui. I reboot and...

Getting ready to dump my FVS318Gv2...same issues...when it runs it runs fine. Last night it just stopped working, I could ping the LAN port, but Telnet didn't work and routing stopped. (Running the latest Firmware)
I cycled the power...it came up for about 15 minutes and died...I then remembered the GUI reboot...did that and it stayed up for about 2hrs and died.
I did a few more GUI reboots (after having to cycle power) and after the 5th try, it stayed up all night.
I'm about done with this router...I need something that works and keeps on working.

Like you and many others I have found that once up and running it can go on indefinitely (till the next power glitch).
We now have little choice but to remain hopeful about the next firmware.
How to get Netgear to take this seriously?

The problem is that mine is on a UPS...no power glitch. It just locked up for no reason. Did this twice in the past two weeks (after running for at least 30 days without a hickup). I'm tired of chasing these issues, when it happens during the day work suffers...at night the family is yelling. I need something that is stable and secure.

I suspect that people here might be more than happy to try any beta version that might be available.
