How often do you lose connection and have to reset the "switch" by unplugging power & plug back in? Thank you

Is it that one that makes me loose connection? I cannot tell where the lost connection is. But I loose connection pretty frequently. Say several times a month. But I believe I loose connection between the router, DIR 655, and DAP 1360. And according to DLink it is because I have them to far in between. It is about 20 yards.It was disconnected when I started answering this email, so I tried to reset the "switch" by unplugging power & plug back in. It did not work but as usual it worked when I did it with the DAP 1360. My connection looks like this, Router, extended antenna, wireless to DAP 1360, wired to switch to smart TV among other things.

I had that problem once. There is a reset button to push. When I did that it powered back on and I haven't had the issue since.

A few months. Amazingly, I just re-plugged it in and it connected! Don't know how long it will stay on line this time. It was unplugged for probably over a month.

I Never disconnected mine for that long.. I've had it for about 8 months now.. but I know it has to be plugged in in order to work.. maybe it's the plugging that's malfunctioning..

Is the power resetting or network connection?If network I would try a different Ethernet cord from your modem to router first. If it's power I would try a different plug first. At that point may be just as cheap to replace it all versus trying to find a new power cable to test.

Hi. Sounds like a bad switch, or a bad connection to the switch. I would use your warranty to repair or replace the units.

Me to, I thought it was just me. I just unplug it and then plug it back in. I repeat this process until it works, usually I have to plug and unplug a couple of times. Annoying. Dan

There is an error. Unplug from wall outlet then replug and reset. I have done this before.

Lol I assume the same and then unplug. I normally get a few weeks worth of 1 hr play a day.

Not sure occasionally mine needs to be unplugged at the unit and the wall. When I reconnect it works. Good luck

Sorry I don't really know. I have a habit of always just unplugging it as soon as I'm done so its automatically on next time I plug it in. Lol

Yes, there seem to be some problem with it. Sometimes, I have to switch off - switch on WiFI to reconnect.

So far, ABSOLUTELY. It seems forgiving when power is interrupted. I recently pulled the plugs on everything for a few hours to rearrange power distribution schemes; Not Once did my router loose track of its settings...

I have the exact same issue. All of the lights will go off eventually. If I leave it unplugged for a day and then hook it up again it will work for about 5-10 minutes then go out again as you describe. I checked with Netgear and they said I should return it for another one so that is what I will do.

I've had mine a couple months now and do not unplug. I do make certain the base is kept dry... I will point out that the switch does have a very easy "throw" or whatever and I have inadvertently switched it on in passing (more than once!). Fortunately it has a light and I've always noticed it and turned it off right away, but I can see where unplugging it might be safer, especially with multiple people in a kitchen.

We have a few outages in our area. I have had no problems. There is no programming to do. My switch it is installed in a basement location. If the light is on when power is interrupted, I don't know if it comes back on when power is restored. If not it is a simple matter of flipping the switch.

Ours has been in daily use for well over a year and we have had only a few connectivity issues. About the same as any of our other laptops, tablets, etc., and restart (at worst) always resolves the connection. For us, it is almost never actually turned off. I'm not a super tech-y person, but based on experience with other computers and devices over the years, I think they should be shut down occasionally to "reset". Maybe if we did turn it off regularly we wouldn't have had any issues...?
