    So I updated to Firmware V1.4.0.10 5 days ago.  So far no internet drops :smileyhappy:

    Haven't tried installing my USB hardrive to see if network storage works again.  Just updating everyone.

Did you use Comcast ISP ? Maybe ISP's problem.

    I'm assuming there are no new updates on the progress of the actual fix.

     

    I'm on the latest firmeware version.  I had disabled QoS at one point, but after seeing no improvement, I turned it back on.  And oddly enough - it went from an every day reset to an every 4 or 5 days reset.  Not quite sure why there's a difference, but I'll take it until we get a resolution.

      Hi MrJace,

       

      You have done factory reset on the device after the update?

        I did not. Is that procedure with a firmware update?
