Have a few Dlink routers and every 2-3 months I have to reset back to factory and reprogram completely. The problem shows up when inbound connections are for no apparent reason no longer working. For example a remote connection on port 8000 which worked for months just stops working. Reset to factory, reprogram and away it goes.
Just wondering if anyone else has had these symptoms.

..would be that something is overheating after your three months. Are your routers in a well air conditionned room? Have you tried to simply reset the modems every two months?

Though about heat as a problem but one router is in well aircond room, other in normal office environment (also air conditioned) and both do the same.

Contacted Dlink support and got 4 read receipts over a month ago, but believe it or not I have not gotten one reply.
Now thats effective customer support! :)

I've had the same issue at home.
Easy fix. Upgrade the firmware and just re-boot the router once a month and you'll be fine.
I know it sounds lame but it's a lot easier than re-configuring the router from defaults.
