[QUOTE="cwa107, post: 425965, member: 24098"] The firmware changes constantly. If you haven't checked in a few months, it would be good to check now. When I used the term "cold reset", I don't mean to restart your machine. I mean do a hard reset on your router. This basically wipes all of the settings clean and puts everything back to defaults. You don't need to do this on a recurring basis, but on only one occasion. We've found this to clear up a lot of issues, especially if it hasn't been done since the router was new and the router has gone through a variety of different firmware versions. Typically a cold reset is done by first unplugging the router. Then, locate a recessed reset button on the back. Press and hold the reset button and then plug the router in. Continue holding the reset button for about 10 seconds. When it comes back up, the router should be at factory defaults. [/QUOTE]
