Android devices in DHCP loop
I have noticed on my wndr3400 that my android devices will start going on and off of Wifi. I watch my android phone connect to my ssid and then drop and reobtain an IP and connect every 20 or 30 seconds. This does NOT affect the ipad, HP work laptop, nor ps3. I have even went under lan and did Mac address dhcp reservations for android devices and still happens every week or so. The fix is to reboot the router and nothing else. I am on the latest firmware any ideas what is causing this? I have read online this is an android bug. Thanks

- WNDR3400 is NOT an access point device. It is wireless N router

1) If it's an android bug - why would rebooting the router fix it?
2) If it's a router firmware bug - why would the "non android" devices using DHCP not be affected? - Sorry I posted this late was falling asleep. I have reposted in the new section, please close this. Thank you.
