Was your reconnecting issue only with DD-WRT? Did you ever run the stock Netgear firmware, and if so, did you have that problem?

I just bought a 3700 (02R6) and flashed to the latest 1.0.6.98 firmware. Huge problems all around..all IM programs reconnected frequently (enough that Yahoo throttled me, for example). In the Netgear forums, I saw tons of people complaining about this latest firmware..so I rolled back to the 1.0.4.58 version. IM no longer reconnects nonstop.

HOWEVER, I am having what looks to be the same problem as this guy: http://forum1.netgear.com/showthread.php?t=53803

Things work fine when I'm actively working at the computer..but when I leave and come back (long enough that I'm waking up from the screen saver)..I have lost connectivity (this is totally wired; this machine is not on wireless at all). Win7 automatically reconnects, and succeeds in doing that in a few seconds. It seems that every time my machine goes idle for a a few minutes, this happens. I ask this as we have a similar situation: U-Verse, a DMZ+ 3700.

So I have a similar setup with a Belkin N1 Wireless Router in my office, connected to the ATT RG via hardline through the wall/attic. I subscribe to the Uverse bundle, but have had no issues with connectivity or bandwidth.

I subscribe to the Max Plus (18 Mbps down / up to 1.5 Mbps up). I'm getting 17.5 down and 1.5 up on a hardline through the Belkin router.

The problem I'm having is I just got the kit where you make the Xbox 360 function like a STB an the TV is freezing consistently every 12 seconds. I have it on a hardline through the Belkin in the office to the ATT RG in the master closet off the house network panel. When I by the Belkin and go directly from the 360 to the ATT RG, the issue goes away.

Any ideas what settings or compatibility issues between the ATT RG and Belkin router might be causing this?

upnp works just fine on my 3700 daisy chained off of the RG with the ip for the 3700 as dmz plus on the RG. The issue I had was with dd-wrt specifically but making the change to the firewall in dd-wrt fixed things right up.

Not sure why you have your network split that way unless you want your desktop on a different network segment than the rest of your home network. Keep it simple and just have everything connect to the 3700 router and the ONLY have the 3700 router connect to the at&t 2 wire RG.

Stupid question. Was reading your uverse post and the problems with dmz+ You mention not being able to use UPnP on your WNDR3700. If I may ask - what do you use that for? I have Windows Home Server, and the UPnP doesn't work there. I'm thinking about using the 3700 as a client to the RG - and want to know what I'm losing if I do this. Because of my home layout, I have a desktop connected directly to the RG, and the rest of my machines (including the WHS server) connected to the router. I can ping the RG desktop, but can't "see" it from the network. I'm thinking treating the router as an RG client will fix this. Thoughts?
