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...
I'd try disabling the internal wifi and see if that fixes it.
As far as what's the good if it doesn't work 100%? It's 10x cheaper than a product that does. And all the routers in this price range are semi-broken like this. But you can usually make a solution using one for 1/4 the cost of an enterprise-class system which would work just as it says (but there's always still some caveats).
To give you an idea of how much more cost-wise, a watchguard t50--which can do about the same as the FVS318N and still doesn't have wifi--costs around $800 on the cheap end.
I've been experimenting with disabling the Wifi, but it seems to make no difference.
BTW, when I reenable the wifi, the radio chooses a suboptimal channel when configured for Auto and when I try to configure a fixed channel (channel 11) the UI doesn't sseem to honour my request by sticking to any other channel except the one I desired:
| Region: | Europe |
| Country: | Netherlands |
| Operating Frequency: | 2.4GHz |
| Mode: | ng |
| Channel Spacing: | 20/40 MHz |
| Current Channel: | 1 - 2.412GHz |
| Channel: | 11 - 2.462GHz |
| Default Transmit Power: | Auto |
| (dBm) | |
| Transmit Power: | 16 dBm |
| Transmission rate: | Best |

I don't know if you tried this yet--disabling traffic meter?
