i have eight (8) WBMR-HP-GNV2 purchased last month with same trouble...
The symptom is the LAN connection freeze.. lost internet connection... reboot clears the trouble..
I am using several different IPcameras on BUFFALO WBMR-HP-GNV2 port 4 to CAT5 camera
The cameras have periodic DDNS - WAN-IP whatsmyIP,com ((( updates change of ISP camera
address))).. The updates respond SUCCESS if the local ISP has not cahanged the WAN IP address
of IPcamera...
I notice at random one day to seven days? The ISP services change WAN IP address to cameras...
I notice IPcamera informs at this time, updates DDNS service point to new IPcamera ISP WAN
address...
About this time, at random, Buffalo WBMR-HP-GNV2 disconnect from internet ISP and
kills access to LAN ports...
I can only work, ONE local, not on LAN network computer, can not see LAN attached camera or
LAN attached computer or connect to administer the Buffao WBMR-HP-GNV2 router... All the
connections to WBMR-HP-GNV2 are lost until I power on off the WBMR-HP-GNV2 or the camera
or the other computer... changing computer changing cameras are no help.. same trouble..
Reboot the power and all LAN attached IP are working visible until the above DDNS mismatch and
update starts again...
I not understand why the local LAN ports on the Buffalo WBMR-HP-GNV2 router freeze up...
The Buffalo WBMR-HP-GNV2 should keep LAN alive to perform administration control service..
However all connection to the Buffalo WBMR-HP-GNV2 from the 4 port LAN are dead lost
all attached LAN devices fall off are not connected... The problem can be resolved
either power on off the Buffalo WBMR-HP-GNV2 router... or for example power on off on the IP
camera..
It may be a DDNS update delay problem or Buffalo time out delay problem or loss of next action
software instruction steps.. to receive next software step ... a timeout sending Buffalo router to freeze
up all local LAN.. LAN not respond to connected powered LAN devices Make no difference if LAN
is assigned static or DHCP priority or MAC selected LAN address

I have eight brand new Buffalo routers and several different cameras along with different locations also
different ISP and DDNS paid services.. I am trying to use cameras to show property rentals.. So I do
need a dependable ADSL connection to broadcast IPcamera property details 24/7...
At present I must travel to each camera and power cycle the Buffaloa WBMR-HP-GNV2 turn on LAN
to regain camera services..
BUFFALO support has no ideas what I am talking about
I noticed a firmware update to version 1.01 (repair ping issue) I begin testing last week
