I have the netgear WGR614v6 router hooked up to my dimension 4700, connected to a DSL modem. The problem is it will work for awhile, but then it drops me. I then have to restart the DSL modem to get internet connection. Can someone help me figure out why it keeps dropping the internet.
The link takes me to netgear support. I am still not sure what to do. The DSL carrier is telling me that the router is not keeping up with the IP address changes. It should be a dynamic IP address.
I've had this problem myself but not on a netgear router. I found that it was because the modem was trying to supply an ip address and the router was trying to do the same. How i fixed it was i went into my modem's settings and changed it to bridge mode. This allowed my router to assign ip addresses. Thus no more conflict with ip adress assignment.
I had the same problem with the 614 as do a lot of people. The router heats up and then disconnects,netgear is aware of this problem but do not seem to be in a hurry to correct it or admit it,switched to belkin pre n and have no problems
