I've had mine since November. I have only once had this problem and that
was with the original software it came with. I have upgraded this twice to
the latest on the Dynalink site. Currently 1.8.7.0 The main problem I get
is with the ADSL itself. Suddenly stopping for no reason (micro outage??)

I've found it to be a good router for what i need it for.
