Don't know how long I have been using the device, but over a year, probably closer to 2 years, and never had a problem, always worked perfectly.
Now I have to reboot every day or two to get a dial tone (the red light will be flashing on the device). I have not tried a firmware update. When I dial ***6 I get the message that I don't need it, and can't try to do it manually as I cannot log on to the page when I enter the IP address in my browser.
Any ideas?
Any help is much appreciated!
Some thoughts:
o Should not be a firmware version issue.
o Connecting cables/wiring/phones are compromised/damaged, affecting device operation?
o Device is dying?
o Power adapter is damaged/failing/substandard, affecting device operation?
o Device settings are 'scrambled'? Factory reset and reconfigure.
Assuming the power is good, check the WAN and TEL cables and connect a good phone to it... reset to factory defaults and reconfigure to see if it returns to normal. And be prepared to replace it.
Many thanks. I will try what you have suggested today.
