Why would an access point drop connections &/or have to be restarted so often? My router never does that.

Do NOT buy one of these. I bought one and it was JUNK. Constant rebooting of it required and authentication problems, dropping connections etc. Caveat Emptor. Buyer beware. Garbage.

Hello Just a Guy. It would be recommended to flash the firmware on the unit in order to make sure the unit is working correctly.

I actually have the same issue. I have to power cycle it twice a month at least. I had a previous model (not the AC model) that worked for over a year without a power cycle.I was thinking of making use of the ability to schedule a reboot weekly...but I don't think it should be happening this often.

I read that this was an issue related to an earlier version of the software in the AP. Go to their website, download the new firmware and follow the directions to install it. This is supposed to correct the issue. I got updated firmware as soon as I installed the AP and I have not had any problems.

I haven't experienced that specific issue myself. My area is much smaller so most of the time if I start getting slower signal I have to manually switch to the stronger network.

I am currently with an Asus router and don't seem to have issues. I've got with a Linksys router issues, but have no idea what to do. Didn't have issues with Trendnet router as well

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.

Might just be your router. Try using a new or different one to see if that solves your problem.

I bought two about 5 months ago and have not had any problems. Perhaps the problem is with your router.

Gail's reply does not make sense to me. I used a router (SMC 3605T) excellently for over 3 years, and some weeks ago it suddently started buzzing intermittently- NEVER had a problem w. connectivity. Over the past weekend I went out and bought the Netgear. Soon after it started doing the same thing. Called Netgear, and they told me to change to another power plug - only. Really deep.

Could be a bandwidth problem. If N router is also adjustable to B or G, it may be in the B setting. Another thing to check is if you are getting a direct line of site signal or are you getting a bounced signal. With a bounced signal, the signal strength can show good, but data transfer will be pretty slow.Good Luck!!!

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.

When I first got this router I had trouble getting it to allow my Lap Top to link up but my cell phone worked from the get go?Try hitting the re-set button instead of un-plugging the router.Even now if the power goes off I have to re-set the entire system.Hope that helps!

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.

Mine worked very intermittently. I was able to get music to come out of it, but not very reliably. Try moving it around. You could also check if there's an update for the firmware for your access point. I ended up sending mine back because the music was constantly pausing.

It does have an access point mode, but it requires that you run a cable from the WAN port into one of the LAN ports. I don't want to give up a LAN port, so I just leave it in router mode, assign a static IP address, and turn off DHCP. It generates an internal notification that it can't connect to the Internet, but it otherwise works as you would expect, providing a second wireless access point on your network.

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.

I'm seeing the same behavior. Started last week. No luck rebooting or resetting my wireless router and cable modem.

I have with two different routers. Sent them both and bought a different brand.
