Re: RBK50

r0b0tvampire,  thanks for the reply.

I had switched to the .gov source yesterday...woke up this am and down again.

While I hate to throw away things that maybe aren't broken, I think it's time to toss the old girl in the trash (not meant to be sexist).  My issue now is will I be getting something new with the same issues because I don't know what the root cause was.  Looking at the MK83, RBK852 (but very concened I'm getting what I have now but faster), Arris and Google.

Re: RBK50

Might as well revert back to prior working FW then while you find another solution. v16 is solid.

Re: RBK50

when you say 16...  do you mean 2.7.1.60?

I couldn't find "16" for my router in downloads.

Re: RBK50

vajim,

 

Appreciate the idea...I don't think they know...as far as I can tell these are users volunteering thier time trying to help other users.  They don't have all the answers but thankgoodness they have the time to help me.  I know we all have bias' when it comes to our cars, technology, children (smile...I hope they don't read this).  Do you have a router you would recommend?  I'm looking now and would love some input.

 

Also, I agree with you, I would like to see more transparency but NG has taken a page from the Apple playbook; never admit to a problem:)

Thanks

 

Some are volunteers as far as I can tell.

 

My posts are based on what I read.  I open the forum and after reading about a dozen or so posts about problems AFTER a firmware, I begin to put 2 and 2 together.  I used to battle the whole "I gotta get the latest wiz bang firmware update', but that's a lost cause.

 

You can't fix broken.

 

Thanks again.
