Have you tried a factory reset and configure from scratch? My R7800 is also almost 2 years old and works fine (currently at 36 day of uptime without issues). I use the .63 hot fix firmware, though, but also didn't have problems with the .62 one

No, I haven't tried a factory reset. Maybe I'll try that tomorrow. I'll report back.

Okay, I did the factory reset and reentered my set up stuff. Turned it off and on and it connected.Hopefully it will be that way when I need to reboot it again. Thanks for the suggestion. I appreciate it.
