Connection issues with Nighthawk XR500
I have a Nighthawk XR500, it's a XR500 V2.3.2.134 setup. I am operating it within my home. It's been working great up until recently when it starts to randomly lose Wi-Fi connection in the house. ...
I had not, but I will. The only problem is running an WiFi scan in my home (I'm an IT, computer company owner, so I know a lot of about these things), shows that I am actually the only person on the channel that my sytem is on, channel 9, but I will go ahead and change the channel and see if what happens.
Could be something like a cordless phone or other device broadcasting/causing issues.
Don't have any cordless phones in the house and don't know of anyone around me that has one, though I can't say no 100%. I did a site scan of wireless connections and interference and I was one channel 9 which showed nothing else close to me running on that range but I did go ahead and changed the channel and will see what happens. I've had this router for just over a year and only started having this issue about 2 or 3 months ago. The only solution that I had found to fix it was to reboot the router.
