Re: WGR614 does not renew DHCP lease and loses WAN con I have been almost pulling my hair out over the same problem. My rp614v2 router loses connection to my cable modem (motorola sb5100) about every 10 hours or so. I have tried every possible remedy:
Power cycling router works for 10 hours.
Swapping network cards, cables changes nothing.
Lowering mtu to various levels between 1200 and 1500 does nothing.
Upgrading/downgrading all available firmware does nothing.
Entering isp ip, dns, gateway addresses manually into router config does nothing.
Entering router ip, dns, gateway addresses manually into windows tcpip config does nothing.
Releasing/renewing ip of modem->router does nothing.
Releasing/renewing ip of router->computer does nothing. |
| I'm using the WGR614v4 with 5.02 firmware. I bought the router about 2 weeks ago and I have not lost my WAN connection. I am connecting to DSL via PPOE and DHCP. So far so good.
This has been much better than my Linky 4 port router as I did lose the connection to the internet on 3 of 4 pc's every 2 days. On the Linky I had to reboot the computers to restore the internet connection. Very weird!
My Netgear has been rock solid since I installed it. I have 4 pc's connected via Cat5 and one laptop via wireless G.
