WNDAP360 losing connection
So I have a WNDAP360, running the latest 2.1.1 firmware.
It is setup to be as basic as possible.
I have disabled the QoS features, and set the channel.
I looked with inSSIDer and got my 2 most free channels.
The 5GHz channel is totally free.
I have set my laptop to use the 5GHz channel and get excellent connection.
The WNDAP360 is connected to my HP Gig switch, using an injector for PoE.
I have tested with and without the injector directly into my Cisco ASA which has PoE.
So now my issue is.
I have a constant signal, the signal itself never drops.
But I get disconnects from services, eg I play League of Legends.
Now if I play through Wifi I get pvp.net disconnects, and it automatically reconnects after a bit.
Constantly!
If I connect the same laptop to the switch directly, I get no disconnects at all. Ruling out the Laptop. My desktop on the switch is also fine.
This means the only thing is the AP itself.
The WMM feature is disabled on my laptop.
I cannot think of anything else to do or try.
I have reset the AP when I did the firmware upgrade.
Thanks

- Hi,
I've been using those APs with OpenWRT for few months now and I don't get ANY problems, no drops, no reboots no nothing. Seems to be pretty decent hardware!
Only problem is that inital flash is a bit complicated and afterwards you can update just via UI. - Did you get any feedback from Netgear level 3 support
Hi eposconsultant,
Please check to see if your WNDAP360 is running the latest firmware v3.0.5.0
