BCM50a Router Issue

Greetings -
I have a BCM50a with VZ DSL connection. Periodically, the Internet connection will seem to flake. I can do a -t ping and see about 30 good pings to the net, then two requests times out, and then about 20 destination host unknown responses from the router and then the pings will come back and it cycles this way for a long time.

I noticed that the link light for the DSL connection goes out at the same time.

I hopped into the Element Manager and saw an Alarm of interest...

Alarm ID is 11409, Severity is Critical, Problem Description is Platform Status Monitor - Router does not exist. The problem resolution says "Check Router operation as it is apparently malfunctioning. If alarm persists, replace router.

I then get a router recovered alarm about 30 seconds later.

Any thoughts?
 
Hey Adam,
Don't know what release of s/w is on your BCM 50, but if your at 2.0 you might want to check out this router firmware update.

Software Update Name: BCM50r2.BCM50a.001

Has a whole lot of fixes in it.
