| 1386032 | 2014-10-10 21:40:00 | Netcomm NB604N last night around 8pm no internet access - checked a couple of things then noticed one of the router lights (internet one, above the wireless icon) was static - tried to access it, (192.168.1.1) nothing - phone call to Telecom, after a few suggestions the operator suggested a router reset- end of conversation. Turned both off. This morning restarted and the router is back in business - In September, an email from Netcomm, "Firmware Update" for NB604N - to quote, "Updating your Firmware is only recommended if you are having problems with your product or have been asked to do so by a NetComm Representative." There didn't appear to be any problems so I filed it away for the future "now" - so - shall I do the update? I'm a bit wary of that "cause there're a few entries I'm not too sure about. Of course the alternative is to throw it away and get a new one. Anyone got some advice on this please? |

| 1386033 | 2014-10-10 23:25:00 | Depends what the update fixes. And if it fixes any probs you've had or you've seen | Speedy Gonzales (78) | ||
| 1386034 | 2014-10-11 01:07:00 | I'd do the update anyway, for fun ;) | Agent_24 (57) | ||
| 1386035 | 2014-10-11 02:15:00 | okay, just for fun!!! | jayal (1291) | ||
| 1386036 | 2014-10-11 02:59:00 | must've worked, back online, just needed a confidence boost, me! not the computer. Thanks for your replies, Speedy and Agent24 | jayal (1291) | ||
| 1386037 | 2014-10-11 03:49:00 | If it only happened the one time I'd just have turned it off and back on and not worried about it. If it's a regular problem that's different. Electronic devices occasionally lose the plot and need to be turned off, doesn't necessarily indicate a problem. There is a reason "turn it off and count to 20 and turn it back on again" or similar is one of the most common tech support responses - it fixes a great deal of issues. |

| 1386039 | 2014-10-12 22:22:00 | Turning the modem off for 20 seconds is often not long enough when I have the odd issue - a good five or ten minutes is better if nothing seems to have changed. It is what my ISP recommends as well. | FoxyMX (5) | ||
| 1386040 | 2014-10-13 02:06:00 | That'd only be the case if it's overheating and needs time to physically cool off FoxyMX. If that's the case, it's either in direct sunlight, or it's faulty and needs replacing. | Chilling_Silence (9) | ||
