Since the factory reset did not resolve the multi-gig port issue, I must return this product.
The port got worse after the factory reset!
I'm having the same issues with reboots post-update.
From what I was seeing in the logs, it appears to be some issue with the firmware detecting DOS LAND Attacks falsely until it locks up and reboots.
After downgrading the software, the issue disappeared.
Upon re-installing the .7, the issues happen again.
- NG definitely needs to do something about this ASAP, 2.1.3.7 is broken, period:

What ISP are you using?

I'm on COX, had them come out and check and they couldn't find any issues with any of the wiring.
I did do a factory reset as well before the manual .7 update.
