1. Is the firmware current?
Sadly, this is not the maker's responsibility. We get to do that.
2. How do you know it's them?
With all that spyware out there, complaints like yours are traced to spyware, virus, trojan, misconfigured this or that some 99+% of the time. Your post is too light on details.

Not certain this is the right forum. Using EMachine with Windows XP, Yahoo Speedstream 5100 and Belkin Wireless 2000 and DSL through SBC/Yahoo.
I have had this setup (alternating Belkin with Netgear modems) and consistantly get disconnects, server not found etc. Have had service call in house, couldn't find p?roblem, now won't return calls, have replaced Speedstream box, had SBC check lines coming into the house and all okay.
I have filed a complaint with the FCC but with 10 disconnects this morning I am getting desperate.
Any ideas?
