750170 2009-02-22 04:07:00 Sometime Thursday morning, this router decided to drop the connection. ( I generally leave it on, have done so fine for the past four months). Now, it automatically drops the connection after an hour.

I have tried restoring factory settings.
I have managed to update firmware.
I have held the reset button for five minutes...
I unplugged it and left it cold for about ten hours.

Any other ideas?

750171 2009-02-22 05:06:00 Does it drop the connections every hour on the hour so to speak or just a general around about time.

And what OS(s) do you have connected to the router ?

If its Vista - go into the Nic properties and untick tcp/ip v6.

XP home on both. No reboots between working fine and not, although Modem was off overnight.

In the router setup check how long the lease is for.
