Losing Ability to Connect to Interface
Everything is fine after a reboot, but within a day or two when I click on "Attached Devices", instead of showing the attached devices that area of the page shows some sort of error. The next thing ...
Kindly check your inbox.
Delved a little deeper into this...
Reset router, re-uploaded firmware and instead of restoring from backup, entered all settings from scratch.
Lost contact with the interface within an hour.
Probably going to try non Netgear firmware just for the fun of it.
Still would like replace model advise. If I am in fact overloading it, should the V2 solve my problem?
Thanks
This is a known but never acknowledged nor fixed bug: Netgear WNR3500L - Attached Devices Problem
I guess I never noticed it before due to the daily reboots.
Kindly check your inbox.
The firmware you sent me a link to seems to fix this problem. Makes me wonder why it doesn't show up on the download page or why the router's self check doesn't see it .
As far as the "non Netgear" firmware I mentioned that I might try....I tried what seems to be the two leading sources. Both installed easy enough and looked nice and had a lot of features. However, they cut my LAN transfer speed by about 33% and my WAN download rate dropped from 31 MB/sec to 10 MB/sec over Gigabit hard wired ethernet! I tried some of their forum's recommendations but never saw much improvement.
Thanks for the link.
