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...
Same problem as so many others.
Using N450 with mainly apple products and Time Warner. Wireless simply locks up and stops responding every 10 - 15 minutes, especially when surfing accross many different sites. Interestingly, streaming to a smart TV to watch netflix seems to be immune to these locks. Firmware Version V3.01.06. Turning wireless off and on again sometimes jogs it back to life but most times the router needs to be turned off and on again to restore wifi. What a waste of money and endless source of frustration.
Netgear... fix this or recall this model.
Also... reseting to factory defaults helps for about a day, then the router goes right back to disconnecting every 10 minutes.
