I bought this router but it drops network very often requiring rebooting. Can somebody help? My firmware is updated and I tried changing channels too.

This happens to me frequently. I was told by AOL that I should just unplug it for 15 seconds and then plug it back in. It solves the problem for me.

I used as a router but returned after about a month as it stopped working. Maybe it was a manufacturers defect. Sorry I could not help.

I am not networking guru. I had it for 1 week until I throwed it away. Mine was useless.In repeating mode it was loosing signal 10+ times a day. As main router worked better, but still had to reset almost daily.

Mine have been working fine for 2 years. The are hard to reconnect when I have to change routers. It seeps to help if I shut them off for at least 10 minutes before trying to reconnect to router.

Mine worked fine. Then it updated the firmware and after that it keeps saying cannot connect to the internet. My DHCP is already on..so don't know what else to fix. Will try to shut down and restart everything. Let me see if that works. Annoying. I heard complaints about network on Sony and decided to buy this. May be time to get Sony!

You are not doing anything wrong. The problem is with the defective firmware of the router. There are two workarounds: 1- Return the router and ask for a refund. 2- Replace the firmware with the opensource alternative from openwrt.org. By the way don't expect the Netgear support to solve this problem for you. They are too incompetent and it's going to be a waste of your time.

I can not speak to that issue, however I do not care for mine. I have to reset my router everytime I use my smp-N100.I have two other wi-fi sony dvd players, 2 smart tvs, and another video streaming device, along with 4 smart phones, 3 tablets, and 2 computers that operate fine off this router, It is not the router!

I had the same issue of dropping wireless and had to reset the router. Tried numerous adjustments and settings.Added a wireless range extender. No more dropped connections.

My router started doing the same thing - random signal drops for a short period, but enough to lose printer and scanner connections. Suggest you call their 800# - sorry don't have it on me - you should have received a welcome email from Mediabridge with the #. They'll arrange for you to get a replacement unit. They stand behind their product - good people. That said, if my next unit has the same issues we'll be having a money-back conversation! Good luck.

I had a Belkin router for years and had no trouble with it. When I switched to Cox, I had to reboot the router around 5 times a day. It was in another room from the computer and was a real nuisance. Cox suggested a new router. I bought the Netgear router a few months ago and have not had to reboot once since. That is the only obvious difference to me.

I am having touble too. At first it couldn't find the router, now it finds it but says my IP address doesn't work. I am planning on calling Comcast, but I was I was wondering what brand of routers people had.Thanks.

I just purchased this radio and it has been dropping the wifi signal as well. The network signal shows blue so I'm assuming from miket's post that there is a problem with the radio connecting to the squeezebox network. Funny thing is though I have a squeezebox boom as well and it never has problems connecting like this one does. I think there is something wrong with these radios and from the reviews I have read it seems to get worse over time. I think I will send mine back as well and just get another boom.

It works ok for me, though there are firmware problems. Certain kinds of addresses can't be assigned. I made it work by using net 10.0.0.0/8 instead of 192.168.0.0/24.

I had the same issue, I called up dlink tech support desk, so after 3 failed attempts to fix the problem, they sent me the replacement AC model. The new router is working fine now but w/ occasional signal disconnect. Overall, I'd say - if possible get your money back and go for netgear.

Mine did that too. I had to turn the venue all the way off then reboot. It took a couple of times. As for the networks problem. I had to reboot my WIFI many times. My son changed my settings a little so that it stays on now. I do not know what he did but I am glad he did it. I only wish they would give us a working manual book.

More than likely its your router, I tried everything I could to avoid buying another one cause I was having the same problem with my Linksys Router and as soon as I changed routers the problem was solved.

Happened to me once too.. Just try to reconnect your cable modem unplug the router.. Don't reconnect the router until the cable modem is back to normal
