I know this is common knowledge but incase some of you haven't done this obvious step in the setup and are subsequently finding the connection drops annoyingly! much like myself lol

"In previous releases, it came to light some of you didn't know how to enter your enet + usb macs and serials properly.
USB MAC = HFC MAC - 1 (in HEX).
Enet MAC = HFC MAC + 6 (in HEX).
Serial = HFC MAC without the ':'s
you MUST perform the MAC and serial step properly, or your connection will still drop.
If you don't know how to do arithmetic in Hexadecimal...start googling.
#It's best to change your NIC MAC at the same time as modem MAC.#"

Taken from Fitz 0.4b readme! make sure you change the last alphanumerical value as described. This will help with the hex arithmetic, very simple to follow:
