Connection hangs on Mac OSX
Hello, I received today the Netgear Trek PR2000. I'm using it in router mode and I'm having some issues with my Mac. After some minutes the router seems to freeze and I can't load any web pages...
Hi,
I investigated further and I think I narrowed down the problem.
I'm currently using the Trek with just my Mac and iPhone. When the Mac is the only client, everything is fine.
The problems begin when I connect the iPhone. Specifically, connection freezes on my Mac when the iPhone is in idle state (black screen) because wifi is in standby. I activate the phone's screen, and my Mac's connection returns working normally.
Additionally, when i disable wifi from my phone's settings, the Mac's connection freeze takes place immediately.
So, it's the way the iPhone goes idle that freezes the Trek's wifi.
I keep waiting for any solution. Thanks.
