dropped connectivity e4200 Cisco Router: This router constantly drops the signal, anyone have an information on how to solve this problem?

This certainly is not as good as advertised. I have dropped signals too, and had expected that with its supposedly superior range that would be a thing of the past. This thing worked well for two weeks then deteriorated. Cisco customer support is of absolutely no help; they will just advise you to try fixes without really explaining why they should work (which they didn't). It's odd that some customers can get such great performance out of this thing while others find the experience poor.

As with the other responses, I would contact Cisco and/or see if there is a spec sheet on-line.

It's been replaced by the Cisco-Linksys E3000.Cisco-Linksys E3000 Wireless-N Router^ That's definitely the router I want to get to start my wireless experience.

I'd first unplug it and plug it back into the outlet. When we had problems this cleared it up -- consider it a reboot. If this doesn't work try another outlet. Not all outlets are the same (there may be a problem with the outlet itself). If the problem still persists it could be a signal problem -- for me, that means that it can't get the signal from your router to extend it. Otherwise, I'm stumped.

Although my Cisco router worked OK for the most part, I bought an Asus router and it performs much better. So far it has been more reliable. I would buy an Asus router if I were you.

Personally, I haven't had any problem at all. I have my router in the other room and it connects just fine. I can't really give you an answer, because I have not experienced that kind of problem. Hope you figure it out. Good luck

****Update 3/18/2011*****Changed the settings as Tony suggested, and everything seems to be working fine now. Have not had to reset, and signal strength has improved. Will update again in the next few days. Thanks Tony!!******************************************************************************************************Nope, it's not just you. I have the same problems, and I'm going to try tony's config fixes to see if I can get mine to work any better.

These things are flaky. As far as wireless I could get 6-8 reliably. Anything more than that and it tends to lock up and die. I would look at anything but the rv series from Cisco.

I have not experienced a wi-fi connectivity issue. We have 2 systems running on the same router. The first thing I would try is uninstall then reinstall your router, make certain someone in your neighborhood is not using your wi-fi connection (unbeknownst to you). Depending on how long you've had your current wi-fi router - perhaps an updated router could help. Talk to the folks who manufactured the router etc.

I have the same problem even though I used the 5 GHz band. I ended up using a wireless bridge for all of my entertainment center components. Now I have no problems!

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 is a linksys but not an E model. So far I can get the player to the Gateway ping part and then it fails. Thanks for your replies!

Have had mine since March and only WIFI problems have been with router from X-finite. My only word of advice is to get help from qualified HP support personnel. Many claim to have the technical capability but many do not.

It may be a hardware issue- I suggest you contact Cisco customer service. There should be an email link.JS

I'm curious, has anyone tried both the Apple Airport Extreme 5th Gen, and Linksys e4200? Feature wise they appear the same, but what about in terms of reliablity
