Prima, but strange disconnections

The device must be configured for me very easy. I do not know what because some users have problems. The reception could be better. The speed is really top. Now I have finally full DSL speed.
so far so good.
Unfortunately, there is now and then (once or twice a day) this strange connection problems. Then absolutely nothing works - no Ping. This means that problems are sitting in the device itself. Oddly, the unit of itself recovering after several minutes. What is that anyway?
It seems that I am not alone. Others report the same, strange behavior. I can live with that, but the thing was not cheap. Because it ought to be stable ...
My old equipment (Intellinet) I have for this exact behavior (but mind you, after years of faultless operation) exchanged for the Netgear. And here I have at this hanger from the start.

Other problems the device does not make me. If you can live with these "hangers, for which there is a prima Modem Router ..

Update 02/02/2014
This morning, after power was nothing. No WiFi, no connection to the Internet. I usually try to get access to the device via the web interface. That was once again not. I have but fortunately, among other more recently W7 operating system on the computer. There, the connection from the computer to the Netgear has been marked as active. Still, I got no access via the interface.
The solution was: About the W7 connection overview you get by double clicking on the router symbol but in fact access to Netgear. But alas, what I realized? The IP address of the device was to factory settings. That's why I did not get access via the interface with the usual IP address.
OK. I now had access via the default IP. However, one look was enough in the configuration summary, to realize that all other data were to default. Of this I have on many occasions in various forums read with regard to exactly this device. So, now is the same thing happened to me.

Luckily I had an approximately 6-month-old backup which I could play without any problems. Some settings I had to still adapt because I had changed in the meantime. But all important basic settings I could thus get back without effort.

Therefore my very urgent advice to all Netgear users: make yourselves at every change in the configuration backup. That's over the WEB interface easy and it saves you a lot of trouble when times are again all the data off.
And: If your after disconnections gets no access via the interface again, then look to see if the access via 192.168.0.1 works.
Conclusion: if the unit is running, then it is a really great part - still.

Today I saw that there is a firmware update:
A new firmware has been found. Would you like to upgrade to the new version?
Current language version of the user interface: 3.0.0.4
New language version of the user interface: 3.0.0.8
Version of the latest firmware 3.0.0.5_3.0.5
Current firmware version 3.0.0.8_3.0.8

I trust myself, frankly, not. I prefer to wait until the time
Experiences from other users. but at least. Netgear seems to work on it.
I valued positively.

Next updates will follow.
