Maybe try a different firmware version?

I've got a Buffalo WBR2-G54S after a recommendation for Buffalo stuff by Peter. It has worked well for years. There's a similar box on eBay (WLA-G54) for $20 but it doesn't have the power brick. (I don't know anything about the differences between the two models.)

But before buying another box, you might want to try a different firmware version for your FVS114. There's a thread at DSLReports that talks about similar issues, with some users reporting success with different firmware. http://www.dslreport...ashing-constantly

FW version 1.1_15 is available at the Netgear site - http://kb.netgear.co...s/model/a_id/2419 - I dunno whether that's actually better than any of the other versions.

HTH a little. Good luck!

Cheers,
Scott.

Thanks; seems that V-1 was the mainly-working version, all the way through __14.
Maybe __15 is OK, but if I can't communicate with the sucker at all ...
Netgear box on back-burner for now, maybe a hobby-type puzzle later on.

Guess this is why Apple also sells these suckers..
