FVS318N requires periodic reboot
I reviwed the community article titled FVS318N router keeps dropping network connectivity, which was closed due to inactivity. I'm having the same problem where the router runs for about a week or s...
Hi Samird,
I am using 3 SSID's on my Wifi in this router and several VLANs. have inbound port forwarding and outbound rules (default rule = deny)
used to have VPN as well and trafic meter enabled, buit VPN's no longer needed and trafficmeter aparantly reduces performance to 30/30.
What setup did you use to test 48 hours?
Running
| Firmware Version: | 4.3.4-2 |

I left it in bone stock setup besides changing the subnet of the lan to keep it from conflicting with an existing lan. I ran the dslreports speed tests as they consistantly would max out our connection properly.
I tested a few times after setup.
Then because this was a local lab setup, I ran an iperf to a system on the 'wan' for 24hrs reporting once every minute (iperf -c 192.168.1.11 -t86400 -i60). Once it passed that test, I again ran a speedtest and then called it good.
The next test was putting it into production where the Internet is a 60/5 connection. Normally it would be right at the 60 mark. It tested 65/5.
I would try testing with all the wifi disabled. The wifi on the 318N is terrible. I'm about to get a 802.11ac AP as 802.11ac is faster than the N anyways.
As far as the port forwards, I didn't try any.
Hope this helps.
