N450 WiFi keeps disconnecting
Hello, So I bought my Netgear N450 WiFi cable modem router on April 30, 2015 and in the past month I've been having WiFi connection problems. The internet works just fine, but for some reason the...
I too am having the same problem: my laptop (Windows 8.1), and my daughter's Macbook and Apple TV experience loss of access to our home network at various times of day. I am forced to turn Wireless off/on, forget the network, and/or run troubleshooting diagnostics.
NETGEAR support had me change Channel from 1 to 11, and things seemed to work for a while, but now the disconnects are back. I have gone to the admin site and checked the power levels and signal-to-noise ratio for upstream/downstream power and they appear to be well within spec.
Anybody have any new ideas??
I have the same issue...on the hardwire the N450 works super fast but on wireless its super slow ..had comacast guys check for 3 hrs all connection , software etc..from their end the signal is good ..looks like an issue to n450 for wireless connection on comcast
Hi amitshah28,
1. Does the issue happen on all of your devices?
2. Have you tried changing the wireless channel?
3. Does the issue happen whether the devices are close or far from the N450?

I have this issue but only with one single item: my wife's Dell tablet. The issue is specific to her tablet and this router and I can tether to my cell and everything works great. I have alos taken to other WiFi connections and it works perfectly fine. No other item in the house seems to have this issue either. Any suggestions?

Have you tried to tell the tablet to forget the network and reconnect could be some bad saved settings in the tablet for that network. You may also want to do Ip address reservation for the tablets mac and ip address as the issue could be a IP conflict. You will find this setting in the router under LAN ip then fill in the mac and ip address then click add under DHCP Reservation Lease.
