Verizon FIOS Router Actiontec MI424WR-GEN3I Issue - Dropped Connections - Constant Reboots

[TheHangingJudge]

160 hours with no changes to router settings.  I wonder if VZ found something in the ONT or network.

It would be nice if they told us that the found something rather than letting us hang.

In my experience that doesn't happen.

It's been 47 hours here since the last reboot, but I'm not sure this is really indicative of anything. I've heavily curtailed the use of wireless devices and I think that's most likely the cause. Haven't really had the time in the last two days to put the router through the paces, but I'm sure once I start connecting my laptop, iPad, etc., it'll go down again. I should be able to fully test it either tonight or tomorrow night.

BTW--I'm not even sure the orphaned IGMP page actually does anything. I see an entry in my router log saying it initialized IGMP despite it being disabled.

Not sure if VZ pushed something through at the same time,  but after turning off the IGMP I'm at 20 hrs.  That's more than it has been for the past week or so.  No reduction in WIFI devices or WIFI use.

g00py - Honestly, I don't think it has anything to do with wireless at all, considering I never had the wireless signal active from my Actiontech Rev. I. (Closing in on 180 hours of the old Rev. F running without any reboots since the swap out btw.)

Nor do I

I dont think it has anything to do with wireless devices either. I think either Verizon fixed the problem or the change on that orphaned IGMP proxy page fixed it. I know with a previous release, even though that page was orphaned, it definitely made a difference turning off IGMP proxy. Before disabling I could not get DLNA to work. After disabling it DLNA worked perfectly.

I suppose I could go back an re-enable IGMP proxy on the orphaned page and see if my router starts rebooting again. I guess I'll try that next.

Dude, no. Why would you mess with success? Ride it out man. 🙂

You're probably right. Now that I think about it, at one point I shut off all my wireless devices, hardwired everything I could and it still rebooted.
