[CS-FSLUG] Dying Router?

[Yamandu Ploskonka]

I didn't want to believe the Internet lady that the problem was not 
theirs, but on my end, until I decided to try see if there was an update 
for my Netgear, that was losing connection also almost every day or 
worse, needing constant reboots.

Turns out there actually had been quite a few updates for my 4-year old, 
and after running the most recent, it got the right idea and has not 
misbehaved since. YMMV., but maybe it's worth a try.
