replaced hardware same issues - Fvs318N 4.2.1-2 firmware
I am on my second Fvs318N the first unit would randomly stop DHCP and DNS routing and the webpage for administration would become unresponsive. This one is doing the same thing after about a day. ...
I also upgraded to the latest firmware -4.3.2-7 reset to factory and I have the exact same behavior - the router will work for about 6-8 hours then go offline - require a reboot and then take 15 minutes to acquire the wan. If I am not here to reset the router ill lose access to this segment of my LAN - thats not acceptable.
I am really out of patience with this product and netgear in general. I dont want to blow another $80 in "lifetime" hardware warranty support fees - I think ill just throw this thing in the garbage and get something new. I have tried 4 revisions of firmware - two physical units and 5- 6 support calls and tickets.
