Greg: If you are not on the RC210 yahoo group you should join. Earlier in 2009 there were a lot of people having problems with RC210 resets with a few versions of firmware which has sense been resolved. You should check to see if you have one of the unstable versions loaded and then go to either v4.74 or v5.281 to see if that will address your controller problems.
