LB2120: no automatic re-connect
Hello,
frequently (every 24 - 30 hours) my LB2120 is losing connection (amber LED) but won't reconnect automatically although I set in the menu "reconnect automatically, always". It's set to br...
i am having the same issue here. connection dropping out on a daily basis.
is there a solution for this yet?
Hi JoeC79 not as far as any of us has been able to come up with and Netgear don't seem to think it's an issue I'm afraid.
Probably a final update on this, bizarrely after all my calls and posts things have improved - unfortunately I think this is because it's not dropping connections rather than re-connecting.
I have now finally admitted defeat with the router and will be returning it.
I've replaced it with a Teltonika RUT240 - I've just set it up and am intially impressed, it's not a "home" friendly box TBH and seems to be geared at the professional user and has the setup and capabilities to support this. Since many people on this forum seem clued up that may not be a problem. It's a few pounds cheaper than the NG box and has way more functionality available in it.

Thanks for the update.
I am also looking at the alternatives for replacement, the one you mention and similar from Huawei and MicroTik. I have a home server rack with mostly Ubiquiti Unifi gear and a complex configuration so like many here, ease of setup isn't an issue just reliability.
This type of issue is actually why I moved my core home networking/wifi to Ubiquiti from various vendors as the sheer number of users and forum posts mean any glitch with a device or its firmware and client devices gets found by lots of people (and usually fixed) plus hardware is supported far longer than with the like of NetGear.
