WN3000RP disconnects

Well day 2.5 did not go so well. :( The WN3000RP lost the connection to the D-Link router too and all of the systems connected to it, went dark. Only a reboot can re-establish the connection and then only for an hour or so. I wonder if there is a heat problem with these devices? :confused:

Update, I have managed to get through a full day+ of continuous connectivity with my WN3000RP and a D-LINK DIR-855 WiFi router. Fingers crossed that we can make it through the week. ;)

Any success?

Finally got back around to this today. I've been too busy with work to address it. I ended up calling Netgear, they had me move the extender closer to the router. Also, left router as WPA2 security, but changed EXT to WEP.

It worked!.....FOR ABOUT 30 MINUTES.

Now, back to same crap. Connected to network, but no internet. Stupid extender just keeps making me go through the setup wizard over and over again.

The fact that it's called a "smart" wizard seems like a bit of cruel irony.

same issue connecting to both SRXN3205 and WNR3500-V1

giving my laptop and the access point a static IP, when the access point loses access to the wan, I can still connect to the access point, go through the "connect to existing network" and can reconnect just fine, not sure why it wont reconnect on it's own if it loses connection

I had the same problem and after a hard weekend that drive me crazy I understood the problem.
My WN3000RP worked well for a couple of months and one day it start disconnecting very often. I noticed placing the device downstairs (insulated from other wifi interferences) it worked well. So I start to suspect about interferences.
I noticed my neighbor changed his router protection from WPA to WPS and and as this happened in the same days I start my problems with WN3000RP this give me a direction.
I noticed the WPS led blinked some times before the device stop working so I tried to find a way to disable WPS in the netgear but seems it is not possible.
So I tried another approach, creating a list of MAC addresses allowed to connect in the wireless settings of WN3000RP and this worked great. The problem of disconnection is solved.
I believe Netgear should investigate on this WPS vulnerability (seems it is a security action the device take when receive several invalid WPS enquires) and at least insert an option to de-activate WPS.:)

thanks miketyson, will give this a try latter this afternoon, will let you know my results

miketyson think you hit the secret combination needed, been up for the last 6 hours with no issues

have not lose connection once sense implimenting mac based security and I have been using PingInfoView to ping the IP ever 60 seconds to verify it is up, has been 100% uptime, have not seen that sense I bought it, great news, thank for the help miketyson

I'm happy my suggestion was helpful. I hope Netgear will fix the problem natively into the Firmware. :confused:
