Reboot Problems with 2820n was created by davegarratt
I've yet to find a version of firmware which doesn't have some issue. However even the most reliable version I've found still reboots every 2 or 3 days. Can anyone interpret this for me.

3.3.1.2_232201_A has been rock solid for me.

I've noticed (mainly through checking the uptime) that the router appears to reset about every 3-4 days. Sometimes it goes unnoticed, other times it seems to happen at the same time as a new wireless connection is established.

I have tried 333 RC5b, but that has the problem where access to the web admin page seems to disappear or at least only work partially after the router has been up for 24+ hrs.

If that version is working ok for you then perhaps we should compare our configs.

I am using WPA/WPA2 across 802.11b/g/n with MAC address reservation but no access control.

I am using a constantly active VPN connection to my office using the VPN lan to lan option.

I have also defined a DMZ for a XBOX my son uses.

90% of my devices connect wirelessly.

I use access control for WiFi (enter MAC addrsss of NIC to gain access for WiFi) and 3 Lan to Lan VPN tunnels running simultaniously. No DMZ but do have port forwarding for NAT
