I posted the thread awhile back: »
[Connectivity] Alternative to Comncast? I'm furious!Now I think I've gotten to the bottom of this. It's NOT the fact that we're using wireless. We run fine for awhile, then it starts slowing down and slowing down, to where it takes longer and longer for web pages to load. It started happening again Saturday and got worse and worse until today, when web pages were taking minutes to load, or not loading at all.
So I went to call support and of course I'm on hold and it's asking if I tried rebooting. OK, no, so I hang up and reboot the TG862G/CT. It works!
So what the heck is wrong with this TG862G/CT then, that it works fine for a week or so, then slows to a crawl and needs to be rebooted.
It would be tempting just to put it on a clock timer so that the power shut off, say between 2 and 4 AM all the time, but it has a backup battery and our phone service is with Comcast too - if we had an emergency, no phones ( except the cell phones ).
Is there a firmware bug or something that might be fixed or updated.
I'm NOT a network tech but am a former electronics R&D tech from the 60's, so maybe I can figure it out?
