RouterStats and the TG585v8

[#1]

Hello
Are any other regular users of the RouterStats software getting problems using it with the 585v8 router?
Recently I am finding that after a couple of days, seems to be getting worse as time goes on, the RouterStats program takes longer and longer to connect to the router and freezes/delays when clicking on the Routerstats tabs.  
The cure is to reboot the router. All is then fine for a couple of days until it gradually gets so bad that another router reboot is needed.
I used to be able to have the router uptime for weeks without problems.
Has anybody else come across this? If so is probably a software problem.
Or maybe the router is playing up.  
Current uptime nearly 3 days and working fine.
Are there any checks I can make to isolate the cause?

I use Routerstats (currently v6.7g) with a Thomson TG585v8. I don't run Routerstats all the time, but have not had any problems when I do run it, sometimes for several hours.
The router has presently been connected over 17 days on ADSL2+, and I started Routerstats 15 minutes ago. It's working fine. I assigned Routerstats its own username and password so it wouldn't conflict if I accessed the web interface at the same time. Perhaps that helps.

I have the very same problem that you describe with the TG582n

Hi Stumpy21,
Do you close RouterStats or leave it open & running all the time? Rather than rebooting the router I'd try closing RouterStats and all other programs and reboot your computer and then try to see if that improves things.
Alex's issue is different because RouterStats has to Telnet the 582n, rather than the http: access for the 585.

Thanks for you messages.

I only use it occasionally - on my laptop, then I start RouterStats and leave it running minimised to the task bar. Then close it before shutting down laptop. So computer has been shut down and rebooted.
It does not appear to be usage related, more affected by router uptime.

That sounds interesting. How do I do this?

Login to the router's web interface. Click Toolbox then User Management. Click "Add new user" on the Pick a task… list.
Enter a suitable name (for use on each computer if you are running Routerstats simultaneously on different computers), leave privileges as Administrator then click the Apply button.
The password starts off the same as the username; you would have to use Switch to another user then Change my password if you wanted to change it,

Thank you.  
I have set up a new user for RouterStats and will see how that goes.
