Firmware 2.2.1.210 released as of 10/3/18
New firmware is available via the GUI ....
Let's hope for success.
That's a great idea. Something very simple to try. (This is my first Netgear router but normally I use 8.8.8.8 for DNS, just forgot to do it when I got the router i november. I'll do that and see if it solves the problem before I change the lease time.
(although I was looking forward to using Telnet for the first time)
I am a novice in many of these issues but come to think of it, maybe some apps don't lose connection? (eg Netflix, uTorren that can manage without DNS while they have a "stream"). I should check that too.
Thx madhatter
Loungepuppy How are things going? Any good news? :)
So far, so good. I should report back in a few more days to be sure. I work quite a lot so it's a bit difficult to be sure of the frequency of dropped connection before changing the DNS but I feel it used to be 2-5 times/day that either me or my kids noticed.
Also, if this works, next step is to turn on Circle again, since I disabled it the same day.
Will report back to make sure that this might be something others can try in case of lost internetconnection (well, DNS it seems) in the router.
Thx again guys!
A bit late but. Circle was the culprit. I am keeping it turned off now which is a bit sad since the Circle functions made dealing with my kids surfing/gaming a lot easier.
