Re: WGR614 does not renew DHCP lease and loses WAN You're not the only one with this problem. I have the same problem with my WGR614v3 Netgear router using Adelphia broadband service. The only difference between my scenario and yours is that my router loses connection after approximately a day and a half. I, too, have to "reboot" my router to regain my Internet connection. Had I known this would happen this often, I would have bought a Linksys 802.11g wireless router instead of a Netgear! Unless someone comes up with a "fix" for this problem, I may just scrap the Netgear router and switch to Linksys anyway. Their routers are cheap enough now to easily warrant a swap out. Also, has anyone been able to successfully upgrade the firmware in this damned thing? If so, please let me know how! On a final note, my feelings are that unless Netgear improves their support very soon, I foresee their business folding within 3 to 5 years.

Same problem.
FWG114P.
Newest firmware, Motorola modem, cable internet.
Netgear suggest resetting the MTU, which only half-worked. I need a solution or an RMA from Netgear. |

After 24 h the router needs a reset (after 24 hours my provider does a disconnect!). The only way is to reconnect before 24 hours! Wrote a perl script, which does the job!
But fixing the router would be much smarter!  |
