[plug] Netgear DG-632

[Shannon Carver]

I had one of these on my iiNet 12/1 ADSL2+ plan before changing to a
D-Link 502T (God Forbid), mine dropped out all the time, and required at
least a daily reset, if not 4-5 times a day pulling the power plug and
replugging it in again.

Whirlpool forums seems to give a similar response regarding the DG-632,
and considering NetGear's lack of support/firmware updates, I'd say
they'd all but buried it, focussing on the slightly more expensive
DG-834, basically the same thing, but with wireless.

The 834 seems to have better support, firmware upgrades, and most people
appear to be happy with it.

While I can't shed any light on why yours is dropping out, I can
recommend if possible you go for a new modem/router.

What's your setup?

Is it a bridged connection or do you have a PC or a router doing PPPoE?
