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...
Its bad on both on mine, wired and wireless. Anyways i bought a new router/modem and everything works smooth now. Sadly cant use this router anymore as it seems.
Looks like I’ll will just have to attach another wireless router, to this modem. Anyone know where to go to make the modem into “Modem” mode only. Looked around in setting but didn’t see any setting.
Thanks…
I am having this same issue. It started within the last 2 weeks. I'm suspecting it is due to a TWC firmware upgrade to the router as the interface looks different than the last time I had to manage the router. It's currently running the same version as other users are indicating.
I initially reset the wireless and rebooted the router and the devices would reconnect. Eventually within a day or two they disconnect and we have to repeat the process. This morning I tried changing the channel selection from auto (had selected channel 1) to selecting a channel 7. This did not work and in fact increased the rate of disconnect.
I contacted TWC internet support. They started a remote support session with me. They started broadcasting the SSID and changed the channel to 11. When I asked why they chose this channel they said for 2.4 band routers they should utilize channels 1, 6 or 11. I will monitor and follow-up if this works (I'm a bit skeptical) :)
