Re: New firmware out for Actiontec GT701-WG
Any indication as to what has been changed?
Or is this a 'dont fix it, if its not broken' update? |

| Drat... I was hoping in vain for SNMP. 
I dont know if what I see periodically is this 'modem lockup' or not. Periodically I am unable to open new connections to the internet. Established connections and streams keep going fine, but new connection attempts fail. It seems to be usage dependent, and sometimes takes weeks or even months to fail out. Reboot always cures the problem.
Otherwise, since I am using PPPoA, I might as well keep the old QW03 that I'm running now. |

1 edit | I like PPPoA better to however you can select it with the new firmware |

I noticed that you now get a record of the number of re-trains, which may be good information if you are having connection problems. |
