WNDR4500v3 Needs Power Cycle Once a Week

Until about a week ago I had no issues at all. Best router I've ever had.

However now it appears I'm having to power cycle the router about once per week to keep it connected to my Cox Communications Network.

I have their Ultimate package and it's been about 99.9999999% reliable.

  • Come to find out it was a Cox Internet Issue not the router. Besides IT'S BRAND NEW so it can't be degrading....Thanks...

    Welcome to the community, MrDave007

     

    Have you tried re-installing the firmware of the router? 

    It might be possible that the router is starting to degrade. 

    After re-installation, factory reset the router then reconfigure the settings from scratch.

        So have you contacted your ISP about it?
