We've been running a NetGear MR814v2 Wifi router at the house for
several months without any problems.
Last week I built a new home office with 4 computers in it. I put in a
10/100 switch which hooks into the router. I moved the Router and the
Cable modem into a closet. Everything worked fine for 4 or 5 days and
now the router locks up every 7 to 9 hours. All I have to do is pull
the power, wait a couple of seconds and plug the power back in and I'm
good for another 7 to 9 hours.
I have already upgraded to the latest firmware.
The only thing I can think of is "overheating". We keep the house at 70
degrees, but because two computers, the switch and the router are all in
that closet it's about 10 degrees higher (or 80 degrees). However, if
it was overheating, I would think that simply removing power for a
couple of seconds wouldn't fix the problem. I'd have to let it cool
down for several minutes to an hour before trying to use it again.
Any ideas?
Thanks!
