Are you looking for help to fix things? You don't say. If so, you might do better to start a new conversation.

You have just joined in on an existing conversation that may or may not have anything to do with your problems. There is also a good chance that the official support team is busily monitoring new conversations and may miss your addition to this one.

If you do decide to ask a question, you really need to provide more details. For example, as this is a router, it helps to know what modem you are using and the various things that you have tried to fix the problem.

This bit is worrying:

I would have thought that someone working on computers since 1977 would realise that at least some of that stuff matters. I agree that the "house size" question is pointless for 99 per cent of the people who turn up here but wifi channels can be the key. If you have no neighbours using wifi, then you can ignore it. But that is an other gap in the information that you have provided.

But to work that out we need to know more.

All we now about your problem is the bit in the subject "Dropping Internet Connection Regularly ".

But we don't know if that is wifi devices or wired stuff.

Nor do we know what the modem is in front of this thing, or what else is on the network.

One point worth noting is that replacing one router with a new device isn't simply a case of unplugging one and putting another in its place. You have to rebuild the network from scratch.

As this is a router, there is probably a modem sitting in front of it. You need to get the modem to forget its misspent past with the old router. That means rebooting the network.

Be sure to restart your network in this sequence:

Turn off and unplug modem.
Turn off router and computers.
Plug in and turn on modem. Wait 2 minutes for it to connect.
Turn on the router and wait 2 minutes for it connect.
Turn on computers and rest of network.

You may have done all this. But your message is pretty well "information free".
