Netgear DG814 randomly locks up

After a random amount of time with reliable net access, this ADSL/router
will simply lock up. It won't respond to ping and the web interface
can't be contacted either. Sometimes it's ok for weeks at a time but
for the last 2 days it's locking up on average every 12 hours. There
are numerous reports on the web about this but as yet, no solution.

Netgear support don't respond to emails, the queuing time on the phone
was 33 minutes just now. I have the latest firmware release but the
problem has been all through each version as far as I remember.

Any ideas anyone?

Thanks,
Twinkle.

FWIW, I needed to reset my DG814 half a dozen times a day - that was until
I 'upgraded' the firmware from the factory installed 4.3 to "4.4 Nov. 05,
2002". Now I reckon I've reset it about twice in over a year!

Maybe you've a problem with you line, or internal wiring or filters. Just
a thought.

Are you running the latest firmware? Even if you are, there is a beta
firmware out (search adslguide.org) that fixes a *lot* of problems
associated with this router.
