Hey All,
We had a power cut today, got everything back online without an issue.

However my router has hard locked up 3-4 times - comes online, gets PPP, works for a while, then locks. Lights on the front stop flashing, then does nothing, then resets.

It has been stable for about 20 minutes now, but a bit odd.

Has anyone else seen this?

Can't catch anything in the logs (and they clear at reboot).

Try a hard reset of the modem and see how it goes. =-)

Yeah did that and had a lockup shortly after.
looks to have been stable overnight - just really weird.

Mine locks up under load of high numbers of current sessions. Tried resets, replacement, no improvement, I just put it down to "Can't handle the load".

Might be time for a new router.

Yup, same, that's why I'm trying to get the Vigor 130 working, but so far, the TG locking up occasionally is better for my needs :/

Asus will have a DSL-N66U out soon which supports VDSL, and will likely be my next move if it's available here before we get fibre available next year lol.
