Title: Possible solution for dropped connections
Review: I had both the whole unit stop working and the strange wireless connection freezes. I have this gateway and the solution to the dropped connections and lock ups was to put a very small fan blowing on the router. It's possible that it's an overheating problem, even when the room is relatively cool. I read about the possible overheating problem somewhere, and my connection has been completely solid 24/7 for several months since I put the fan on it. Before that, it was dropping the connection daily and required pulling the power plug to reset the connection.This product was given to me by Comcast when I ordered the Home Networking option.The connection IS much better now with this modem than it was before with my own store-bought cable modem, but that is not saying much.In summary: This unit sucks, don't buy it - and I like Netgear products.If this review helps you with your problem, please bump it (click on 'Yes' it was helpful)
