I've had the above router for several months, and it has worked flawlessly, until about 2 weeks ago. Since then, when we're on the internet, sometimes when we're downloading video or other large files, the router loses the WAN IP address. The LAN IP is not lost, and I can connect to the router wirelessly when we lose the WAN IP. I contacted Netgear support, and they had me change the MTU values and re-install the latest firmware version, which was already installed, but those didn't help. They decided the router must have gone bad, so they set me up for a replacement. To cover the time while the old router is in transit to Netgear, I purchased another router of the same type. Much to my dismay, it exhibits the same problems. Any ideas what might be going wrong?
My ISP is Time Warner Cable/Roadrunner w/ a Dynamic IP
The router's firmware version is 1.4.23NA, which is the latest.
Thanks for the help.
