This is a modem-router combo. Main PC is connected by ethernet cable and doesn't seem to lose connection, but Day of Defeat game periodically freezes and jumps during the game for a split second—about 4 times a minute. Wifi connected devices periodically lose connection for short periods or get "unable to connect to the internet" errors, which fix themselves with or without going thru troubleshooting apparently citing network issues. When I go to the IP address on line, Netgear said the cable connection boot state should be operational (it is blank), the configuration file should be complete (it is blank), and the upstream and downstream channels should be locked (they are all blank). Netgear said to contact the ISP (Cox) and see if they were using the proper configuration file for this model. Cox said they were and reset everything, but everything is still blank and Day of Defeat is still jerky. Does it matter if these things are blank and will that cause the performance issues I am seeing? Netgear said to take this one back and exchange for a new one. Will that make a difference?
