Hi,

Virgin installed my 50Mb service recently, and this consists of a flash Ambit modem plus a DIR-615 DLink Router/WirelessAP.

I've noticed devices dropping off the network, but after further analysis I've found that the DHCP service on the DIR-615 simply stops working (along with the syslog service). Network traffic is unaffected as I keep a machine with a static address around. What I see is:
1. No further syslog entries (or messages to the syslog server)
2. Unanswered DHCP_DISCOVER and DHCP_REQUEST messages.

The workaround is to either reboot the router at which point everything works again... for a while, or go fully static (which is a pain).

The DIR-615 is firmware 1.00VG on D4 revision hardware; I can't get support from D-Link as Virgin provided the modem but there doesn't seem to be a newer firmware release...

Anyone else seen this problem?

Regards, AndyH.
