I did think that, but this time, when the connection disappears, the
web interface also fails. Normally, when the connection fails, I
simply log into the web interface, and restart the connection, and it
is all back. Now I have to do a hard reboot. If it was happening every
week or so, I probably would not worry too much, but every couple of
hours, is not really any good.
I have just checked, and there are no new firmware upgrades available either.
I have been thinking of re-jigging my set-up, so maybe this is the
excuse I need.
