I recently replaced my Modem due to having to reset often, now the modem is fine and a couple of time a week need to reset my fvs318, really hate the thought of replacing it with something inferior.
Wish I could just have it reboot everyday at 3 AM or something. :-) Internet/LAN seem fine when the interne connection goes down though. fp At 07:59 AM 1/12/2006, JRS Poked the stick with: >Could be going bad.
