The netgear kit is normally very good. I run an access point as well (netgear) in my network, but that never plays up and is now (hmmmm) 6 years old and I never have to reset it. I wonder if it has something to do with the line which is being provided.
Don't forget the line is like the london underground, crowded and unreliable!
I bet if you paid for a upgraded line the issues could potentially go away.
As before, I have contacted the ISP before to have my connection reset at the exchange and it still happens.
Now I frequently reset the router to regain connection, plus the Wi-Fi has become sporadic.
Last year I thought it may have something to do with overheating of the Netgear router, so I took it apart and drilled holes into the housing, looks like a sieve now, lol.
and even after airflow has been improved, is now starting to deteriorate in regards to connectivity.
