Re: We are having a continual problem with our network traffic freezing

I wonder if my problem is similar..

A few weeks ago, I got a 3386-ENT for the office. It's firmware is the current version 8.7.4 R6. I have noticed it stops working once, sometimes twice a day. Usually in the afternoon/late evening. When it stops working, I mean that no one can surf the internet. I can't ping or telnet into the 3386. If I pull the power from the back of the unit and plug it back in, the internet immediately starts working again. And I can telnet into it. I see on weekends when no one is in the office this doesn't happen. So I get the feeling something during the work days is causing the problems. But I don't have a clue as to what. We don't have a complicated setup as far as the router goes. I hooked up our previous Netopia R9100 and I don't get this problem. Tech support said to said the router back for a replacement, which I did, but the replacement did the same thing. But I though I would ask if anyone had heard of this sort of thing happening.

Even though it appears you're having the same problem, please start a new thread when you have a new issue. It's very difficult to keep two problems straight and who's working on what in a single thread.

I've created a new thread for your issue here.

Note: You will need to post complete details of your configuration and your specific issue in this new thread for us to help you.

Thanks for your cooperation.

The solution to this problem was I got a Snapgear SG300. Had no problems with it.
