Recently acquired this router alongside a Wireless Mobile Broadband package here in Ireland [DigiWeb].

Occasionally the router's internet connection would stop responding for my PC, but wirelessly I can still access and browse the net via my laptop while my PC can't at that given moment.

This is sorted when I reboot the router via the 192.x.x.x page.

But why is this? Considering the laptop is fine, and the PC is still connected to the router, but the internet connection being dropped only for the PC.

This is most annoying while I'm in the middle of something, and suddenly I get dropped out and forced to reboot.

I've noticed that, during the times I get disconnected from the net the blue LED [the osflash thing or whatever it's called - the mobile broadband card] blinks.

My net connections online is perfectly alright, where pinging to servers/sites is a constant 40+. It doesn't fluctuate at all and is pretty consistent.

I thought I'd try to upgrade the firmware (Currently it is V1.3.7.4DW), but I've failed to find the latest firmware (Or any firmware for it for that matter) for the MBR814X. If someone could help me retreive it I'd really appreciate it.

Please help
