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.

Thank you Skeetwales. Where do I find that "Genie" menu? Is there an application that goes with the modem that I've not found?

To get to the Genie menu You log into the router like you did before.
On a browser 192.168.0.1
The Genie menu is just the new firmware router interface.
I liked the old one better. Never had problems before.

Please forgive the ignorance of this "Aspirant". When I enter "192.168.0.1" in my browser I receive an alert asking for my User name and Password. A hint as to which of my hundreds of user names and passwords would help.
Thank you for all the guidance so far.

The genie is just the new router interface, due to the firmware update.
If you had a user name and password before the firmware update,
to get into the old router, use that.
if you never set one up.
Default User name is admin
Default Password is password
