I have had the router for several months and it hasn't dropped once. I am using WPS as my encryption. I had issues with a prior router dropping almost daily but that router was 10 years old. I would suggest calling Belkin customer service.

Yes, junk it. I replaced mine with the ASUS rt-n66u and it hasn't dropped once (been two weeks). Also the speed distributes real well to all my devices, which the belkin junk didn't do well at all. I tried updating the firmware on the belkin too.

Get a better internet connection and use a Ethernet wired connection to go on-line (no WiFi). Had the exact same issues until I discovered that my standard Time Warner standard internet connection was barely able to keep up with the HD bandwidth requirement and my WiFi signal was only average due to the router being on the other end of the house. This resulted in many frequent video breakups and rebuffering episodes, which was annoying to say the least and discouraged watching online content. Broke down and pulled CAT6 cabling throughout the house, and upgraded Time Warner to Turbo level to get close to 20Mbs vs. the standard 10Mbps. A one time pain, but it makes all the difference in the world. Will never go back to using WiFi again except for basic web surfing on the laptop. Also, using the right router can make or break the difference. I got rid of my Time Warner provided WiFi integrated router to a dedicated Cisco small business router. Huge difference, and can now run gigabit, which far exceeds the requirement of what my Samsung TV & BluRay requires.

From my experience, Time Warner won't accept any of them. I bought 2 and 2 I had to sell.

I had nothing but problems with mine. It eventually would not stay connected to wifi. I lost about $20 in games too. I returned it.

it didn't work for me. i had to buy a different model without the telephone option on it. maybe it depends on the market your time warner cable service is in.

Mine has withstood almost 6 years of heavy use with no problems. Probably a weak cable signal, or a bad cable itself.

Yea im not sure on that. If a second one still giving you problems it could also be your computer or tv outlet. Mine work fine since the beginning and still rolling. I use it everyday since I don't have cable I just now watch everything on the internet. Sorry I cant help you on this one.

Maybe they're phasing it out or coming out with a newer model or product. I won't recommend this particular model, even though I have the same one. It started giving me a Service needed display as soon it was almost a year after purchase. Then have to pay another $139 to have it fix. A whole lot of wasted money for a crappy product they claimed is the best. Just my 2 cents.

I had a similar issue with mine. I sent it back for service and it took 4 weeks for them to send it back. Bad service!

Same thing happened to me after about 6 months. There is a guarentee and I requested my money back. They would also replace it. THey were excellent about it too.

In the same boat. I get wifi connection drops after about 2 weeks. Not sure what the issue is, it's something out of a early 2000 episode.

I am not using it on time warner but have experienced exactly the same thing. when I contact Cox cable in Wichita Kansas regarding this issue, they tell me it is the hardware and to contact netgear. netgear tells me that it's Cox. I'm of the opinion lies with the cable company but am not 100% on that.

I am waiting for the drop too...it seems the product is old now as I see a link for a newer version that has only 4 gigs of RAM..useless

I currently have Comcast and it works perfectly. Now I don't have to lease their stuff. They don't have control of me. I wish I could help on Time Warner but I don't see why it wouldn't and if not return it. Amazon is great.

Have not had mine long - but no negatives at this time. Problems with my service provider charges me an arm and a leg! Hope to resolve that problem shortly.l

Sadly, I think you (we) are screwed. I was having horrible speeds with Verizon FIOS for a few months (&lt;1Mbs), blaming Verizon and getting 3 new routers when I finally realized while I was on the phone with technical support that all my problems went away when I turned the BestView baby monitor off. I've tried all the channels with no luck. My wife and I just know to turn it off for a minute or two when we need to do some quick browsing. Very annoying...

I've not had any problems at all with steaming or with using other devices. This is the same device that Time Warner uses for their WiFi customers, that alone should tell you how well it works. I've been used this device through Time Warner for 2 yrs then I finally and purchased my own exact model since it performed to well and I'm glad that I did. If you aren't good with wireless networking, then just youtube your issues or google the forums needed to answer your questions.
