Weird Router issue - Netgear
So last night, the network went down at the office. I noticed around 10:30. I head over and re-boot the router, since I can't access it via the HTML interface.
It starts working. I can access the HTML interface. Then the HTML interface quits. I can't change pages. The router continues working for a while, including VPN.
By morning, dead again. Head into the office for an early morning shipment (6:30AM) and go to work on the router.
Reboot and it is up again, but the interface freezes again after a couple of minutes.
Reboot and immediately go to the firmware. Download my configuration. Upload a fresh copy of the firmware. reboot.
Everything is working. Still working 4 hours later. Does this sound like my EEPROM for the firmware is going bad? Netgear has a lifetime hardware warranty. But for me to exercise this, I need to buy another router, because I can't operate my office without it.
Any ideas?
