Netgear WNR2000v2 cuts out every 30 mins

Mrgirraffe · Jan 18, 2015

My Netgear WNR2000v2 cuts out for ~10 seconds every 30 minutes. I already tried a factory reset and it keeps doing it. I am a PC gamer so this is very annoying as I get regularly disconnected from any server I am on. Any help would be greatly appreciated, and I can provide more details if needed.

What is the length of time the DHCP lease is set to? If it is set to 60min then your PC will have to renew its IP ever 30 min. Set the DHCP lease to 1440 (1 day).

Thanks for the response, but I am not sure how to set the DHCP lease. I tried looking it up online but couldn't find an answer.

Yeah, I don't see any option in my quick search of the users manual.

To test my theory .. you can do the following:
start a cmd window -- Start->search->cmd -- click on cmd.exe
type ipconfig /all in the cmd window
Look at the lines "Lease Obtained" and "Lease Expires" -- How much time is between those two dates?

I do see other people complaining about similar behavior with your router. You should verify that you have the latest firmware loaded. It looks like 1.2.0.6_36.0.58 is the latest firmware.

1 year exactly. I'll check to see if the latest firmware is in use.

Well, with a 1 YEAR DHCP lease, it can't be a DHCP renewal problem....

kanewolf :

I just checked and my firmware is very outdated. However when I check for a new update it says there is none and returns me to the main webpage.

Mrgirraffe · Jan 18, 2015

Not sure what to do at this point. I looked online for a downloadable version of the firmware update, but it's in the wrong file format.

The WNR2000v2-V1.2.0.6_36.0.58NA.chk file that is inside the download link ZIP file is not correct?

kanewolf :

The wizard says I need a .img file, and that is a .chk file.

Could I get some help with this someone? :/

Mrgirraffe :

If what is on the Netgear site isn't correct, wouldn't a post to their forum be the better response, than just Bumping this thread?

Mrgirraffe · Jan 19, 2015

kanewolf :

You're right, thanks for your help as well!

You were spot on. Motorola modem had DHCP set to 3600 seconds. WTF! This is a residential modem not a hotspot. Anywho I logged into the router/modem at 192.168.0.1 and used admin and motorola for the login and set the lease time in DHCP to 691200 for a good 8 day lease time so it should cut out every 4 days then which is more reasonable. I attempted to set a reservation however the FW is buggy and it keeps rejecting it. It also is not showing the leases that are there.

When I see a DHCP reservation problem, I will keep that in mind. Never thought about the modem having such a short DHCP lease.
