N450/CG3000Dv2 WiFi drop and Interface Lockup
Last week Time Warner Cable pushed firmware V3.01.06 to my N450 modem/router. Since the update, i can't go more than 24 hours without having to pull the power because WiFi drops ALL devices. After ...
I did a factory reset and have not been loosing connection for a few days. In the genie menu there is a place to backup your settings. After the reset you can restore the settings from the file you saved. The only thing it didn't restore was the user and password to access the router. The default is admin for user and password for password. Then you can sign in and change that. Still can't usb port to work.
Per Netgear site (copied below), TWC is supposed to be using firmware v1.00.05 for the N450 (rather than the v3.01.06 that they recently pushed out). I tried asking TWC advanced tech support to verify that they have pushed the correct firmware, but they just say contact Netgear support about firmware. I tried explaining what Netgear support site states, but they won't even listen. TWC was bought by Spectrum, which they say is not related to Comcast, so I'm not sure why they would have pushed out the Comcast firmware. Does anyone know or understand this? To be honest, I don't know what the firmware does other than allow the modem to communicate with your ISP's signal?
We have the same issue and noticed the same thing as you did about them pushing the Comcast software. Called TWC and like everyone else that called they are going to notifiy management but I doubt anything will come of it. We also are have the side benefit now of our usb port not being recognized on the network any longer. We had a thumb drive attached that we like to reference from our various computers and all was working great until about a month ago.
