Re: Reliable firmware

I recently pulled out the Actiontec, and set it up again at my
parents' house.  I updated the firmware to the latest version I could
find ( 2.0.0.0.19n-R7000M ).  It is working more reliably now, it has
not hung in the ~ 5 days it has been in use.

The only issue I have seen is that it seems to reboot itself somewhat
frequently.  When I have noticed it, it has happened shortly after ppp
login, where I start to access WWW sites, then everything stops.  The
modem is not pingable for around a minute, then it comes back.  I
assume it is rebooting (/proc/uptime also supports this).  So, while
it's a bit annoying, the modem is still quite usable.
