H currently have a Netgear Wireless (WNA) 1100. The blue light goes off frequently and I lose connection. Is it broken or not strong enough?

Kept having trouble with mine dropping connection - Switched to an Asus . P.S. had two diff Netgear adapters & both did it.

My device continually connected/disconnected, the replacement did the same so I returned for a credit.

This item is not broke more than likely it's a common problem and is not worth keeping. Many have the same complaint and issue and nothing technical support tells you will help. Get a different one there are two I can recommend

In my experience, the driver for this adapter is flaky. This adapter has a broadcom chip and broadcom does not seem to be addressing issues. It took them a long time to get a non beta driver out for Windows 8.1, which still seems to have issues in my experience. I am currently using a Asus adapter that has a ralink chip and it just works. It is n only though.

You really need to detail out what exactly the problems are your experiencing. I have no trouble with mine as long as the signal strength is low/medium to good. If you explain more I may be able to help. Are you not able to connect with your home router or are you having problems with other WiFi hotspots. Bob

FYI - a cheaper solution is to buy a cheap used wireless router and set it up as a wireless bridge. I purchased one used for $29.99 . I now have my bd-p1600 hardwired to the bridge and it works great.. I am using dd-wrt on both..

I don't honestly know. People, like Kim Komando podcast and electronics show, do say to stay with the same maker. You could try calling Netgear they have been helpful to me with questions about updating router in the past.

I bought my WRT54G router back in October. Hooked it up to a desktop running on Windows XP and a laptop running wireless with Windows Vista. Without fail practically every moth since purchase, I will lose the wireless connection and end up having to call Linksys. They do walk me through correcting the problem, but this takes an hour, hour and a half out of my day every time it happens. I've heard all kinds of stories from the Linksys techs as to why this keeps happening, but bottom line... I'm looking for a new router.

I used one of the wireless bridge TrendNet Wireless AC devices (provided you have a wireless AC router). I also used the 5GHZ band was well if that makes a difference.

This is a little late but it may help anyone looking in the future: Wireless isn't the most stable consistent connection. Its great for generic internet but gaming is very demanding. You have the potential to run into hiccups with your connection. I quickly switched from a wireless adapter to this netgear powerline kit. Now the boxes will use the electrical wiring to transmit the signal so if the wiring isn't from one outlet to the other it won't work but it is almost as good as a direct ethernet connection (which is the best option if possible.)

So far, I can't get the WiFi to connect on mine. I've done the firmware upgrade, but that didn't help. It sees the router with a strong signal, but won't connect when I enter the code. So, I'm using the cable for now, but if that's all that works, I should take this one back and get the one without WiFi that is $70 less.

After a few months, my device also performed poorly as a wireless router. I had good performance when I bypassed the wifi and used the SBG901 in bridge mode as a modem. Ultimately my best solution wasto replace it with separate modem and router components.

yes I have the same problem with the WRT120N Wireless-N, can you help me with buying a better one ?

I would contact NetGear support as it sounds to me as if the unit is defective. It could just be the remote sending the wrong signal but whatever the reason you should not have to tolerate it. Good luck.

I am not sure, have you checked with Netgear? I love the router, I use it with Clear wireless internet.

I have a Netgear WNR1000v3, and I have no problems. Just make sure that you have all of your network information when you setup the scale. I think you should be fine. Good luck! Love the scale!

You might want to check your set up. The router is approved by TWC as compatible. Mine has worked w/two for a few months and my problem has been intermittent timeouts. The fact that netgear has no customer support makes me rethink my purchase.

Hi, My advice is to return that piece of garbage,I bought it but I installed like a month and a half after, the worse router I ever had, very poor signal range, connection drops constantly, I tried to return it but it was too late, I threw 70 bucks to the garbage, if you can, again stay away from that router it will give you many headaches. It is the last time I buy a Netgear product. Good luck!

Thank you for the response! Absolutely correct, feed it a wireless signal and you are good to go!

Maybe if it's no longer than that. Mine was about 20 feet away and it keep dropping the Wi-Fi at night. The next morning I would have to unplug it and plug it back in to work.
