Hey today only I took Home Internet modem. Unfortunately after every 10 - 20 mins. modem restarts. By reading in forums I believe that I need to upgrade firmware. Is there any special procedure or it will upgrade automatically.

i've been having the same problem...wifi dropping every couple of days.  I've been turning the modem off and on regularly now. Its been very frustrating!   If the firmware will help, it would be much appreciated.  Or if you have any other suggestions...

The only way I could fix that was setting up my notebook to G only.

Check this link and change you PC/Notebook to 02 - 11g

Hey @sabsgroves!

Were you able to get this figured out?

Did FidoPierre's suggestions help?

Hey @sabsgroves, 

Welcome to the Community.  

I'm sad to see that you're experiencing issues with your connection. Did you get a chance to try a couple troubleshooting steps such as unplugging and plugging back the modem? 

Or even a reset of the modem? You can check out the steps on how to do this here. 

Let us know if it helps!
