Router drops connection

Got a Netgear RP614.

Have Comcast cable. It keeps dropping the connection.

Not on a regular basis, more like a few times a week.

I find this strange because when it was directly connected to 1 PC and then
shared across the network with Microsoft ICS, it would never ever drop it,
for the whole year.

Anybody know of anything I have to do so it will stop dropping the
connection, or atleast drop it less frequently?

I have a pppoe DSL connection with the netgear rp614. I used to use
ICS and had very few problems. With the new router, it seems to be
dropping some of my inactive telnet sessions. You know that there is
some new firmware available from www.netgear.com (click on support),
right? Try this; I will also and report back.

If it's anything like the RT311, it's _supposed_ to log out after a
(user set) length of time inactive.
