Does the TD-W8960N have the same Auto-reconnect feature as the TD-W8970?

I haven't had a problem with coming back into range with my phone and it reconnecting. Like all things, you have to set up your devices to connect automatically. There have been a few times, though, that I've had to reset the modem because the WiFi wasn't connecting but my desktop PC was (because it's hard wired). It's just one of those things. It even says in the instructions that you should reset your modem at least once a month.

It may but I don't think so. I bought this and had serious disconnecting issues. I would spend a little more and get the td-w8980, it has been the best modem/router i've ever owned.

Nope, it will not automatically reconnect. That is another smaller reason why I went back to the corded connection to my stereo.

wireless feature works well for our small network. Don't know the difference between to two models though.

A word of advice. log into the router setup page (192.168.0.1: username: admin. Password: password) and enter the wireless settings, then pick a channel for the wireless connection. "auto" which it is set to by default, will have random disconnections. Going off personal experience here with model purchased from my ISP.

I bought 285W in Dec 2009. It reboots about once per trip. Then I returned it to Amazon and bought a new one. To my surprise, the newly arrive unit still reboot itself, though less frequently. Maybe it's some software glitch related with MSN receiver, just a speculation.

no. you must check a box to have it start automatically, but no other connection problems

I am using it as a replacement for the original EarthLink modem.I have to turn it off and turn back on about once a day. Either EarthLink is no longer where it was two months ago or its the modem. I will move in about six months to another state and I don't want to move to another provider until them. The service was ok until a months or six weeks ago.

IDK, but mine does the same. i have problems keeping the WIFI connected all the time. it drops even though the connection in strong or excellent. hate having to reconnect all the time.

Nope. The OS hasn't affected me at all. I occasionally may have to go into the bluetooth settings and manually select "phonekit" for it to reconnect but that is only occasionally maybe a time or two a month. Not sure what the cause of that is.

I have not looked through the details on TP-LINK TL-WN951N, but by just eyeballing it, it seems to me that one of the biggest differences is that the WMP-600N can do either 2.4 GHz or 5 GHz, but TL-WN951N can only do 2.4 GHz.

I've never turned mine off.. But whenever I return home my iphone always can reconnect with no problem.

I only used one of them & it's doing very good wirelessly. After one or two years now I'm having som trouble with the one I'm using, it looses signal with my network so I need to reboot it almost everyday.

Automatically, no. You have to push the button for it to reconnect. And it drops the connection typically after 5 or 10 minutes of non-use.

I got the x7500 setup pretty easly but there where some changes in the network settings. Mine was stolen so I can tell you the settings I changed right now but I think it was one of them set to Auto.

The documentation states that it supports auto MDI-X, auto speed negotiation, flow control, and 802.1p priority queuing. Also, 802.3af and 802.3at (PoE). 1000Base-T full-duplex. Store and forward method. Nothing more is stated other than the contact info. support@dual-comm.com or 925-658-4824. Its benefit to me is the ease of operation since there is no administrative functions. The USB power compatibility is also a great feature.

This is the worst feature I really hate. It reconnects automatically only if you return to your car within 10 min. Otherwise, you have to turn it off and then turn it on again to get it reconnected. It would be fine if you could turn it on/off easily by using the big button at front, but no, you have to use the tiny slider at side which make me angry each time I have to do it (often times, I forgot to turn it on when I got into the car until I hear the incoming call, then I tried to turn it on). For this reason, I would not recommend this unit to anybody.

I tried the TL-WN823N and could not get it to work. Could find no information on how to set it up by Drobo and TP-Link has no idea either.
