EX7300 randomly drops connection
I have a netgear WNDR4500v3 that works great. I've had it now for a year and I'm very happy. I had an old extender 2.4Ghz only for a while and it worked ok, but was a little slow and when a numbe...
Once I disabled fast lane and enabled both 2.4Ghz and 5G the extender connected steadily to the 2.4Ghz network. It has gotten the IP reassigned a few times over the last 2-3 days, but visible disconnections.
This seems to be resolved
The disconnection happened again today. The extender worked fine for most of the day, I can see in the router logs that around 3pm the DHCP re-assigned the same IP, not sure if it got temporarily disconnected. Again an hour later and then eventually I see this:
[DHCP IP: 192.168.1.15] to MAC address b0:b9:8a:65:97:b1, Monday, March 13, 2017 17:28:23

And then it lost connection. I had to turn it off and on around an hour later and it has worked fine for the past 3 hours.
Hello mith_it
Have you tried to change the wireless channel on the router?
