Hello,

thank you for your reply.

> 1. Does problem occur on wired and wireless sides?
The router and the WNIC came in a single package, but I couldn't get
the wireless card to work.
Nonetheless, I have two computers connected with RJ45 cables and it
happens on both of them.

> 2. Does problem occur if you assign a fixed ip address?
Haven't tested it. Currently the router's DHCP server is used. The
lease time is set for 2h and it is able to renew that.

> 3. Are you using any P2P apps when the router stops working?
I have tested with an without those types of programs and the same
thing happens.

> 4. When router stops working is the power supply putting out correct voltage?
Unfortunatly I don't have any way to test that.

> 5. Do you have the most current stable firmware running on the router?
Yes, in fact I updated the firmware to the latest version with the
hope of solving that issue, but to no avail. I also contacted SMC but
they never replied me :-|

> 6. Are there other computers on the network and if so, are they effected?
Yes, as I said in (1), I have 2 computers connected over RJ45 cable
and they are affected in the same way at the exact same time.

> The right capture in wireshark would be the smallest that shows when the
> network stops working,
I wish I could pull that one off... Sometimes this works fine for
hours... It tends to stop working somewhere during my sleeping hours.
I'll try leaving wiresharking running... Let us hope it doesn't fill my HDD =)

BTW, I have my router's Firewall, UPnP and Wireless disabled. I have
NAT enabled.


Once again thank you for your feedback.
