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...

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.

I bought my N450 at the end of November, 2015 and now (after the 90 day period, of course) it has started having wifi disconnects. The hard-wired connection is solid as a rock, but the wifi just occasionally quits to all devices (Android and Mac), near and far, until I reboot the modem/router. This is happening about every third day. My firmware is the current one for Comcast (3.01.06).
Additional info on the above post: I had selected "Auto" for the channel in this single band modem/router. It connects on Channel 1. I installed a wifi analyzer on my android phone and found that, indeed, channel 1 has the best availability. Can I get a replacement for this device?
Hello craigwf
Have you tried to do a factory reset and see if the wifi is still dropping out?

Have not done a factory reset as the significant number of users with the same problem with CG3000DV2 who have done that say it didn't change anything. Interestingly, yesterday when the wifi was "down", I checked with my android wifi analyzer app and found the wifi signal was still up and strong, however no one could connect to it until I rebooted the router. It appears there is nothing wrong with the hardware generating the wifi signal, but rather a software issue as the router will occasionally disconnect all wifi devices and not allow them to reconnect until it has been rebooted.
