I have a Speedstream 2604 wired router and after a while it seems to go to
sleep, crashing (or something). I'll leave the PC for a while and then come
back and can not connect to anything (LAN or Internet). I can't even PING
the router from LAN and when I release my IP and try to get it back no DHCP
server available. This takes down all of my network devices including phone
system.

I have to reboot the router to get it working again. I have been all through
this router which has very limited logging capabilities, no timers etc. As
far as I know there is no way to send SNMP to a syslog server either. Not
very happy up to this point. I will search the manufacturer's knowledge base
but in the meantime if some has had a similar problem any insight would be
appreciated.


First, see if there is a firmware update. See if that fixes it.

Second, see if it is hot. Is it in the open where it can get plenty of
airflow? If not, could be overheating.

Last, it could just be a bad router.
