WNHDE111 disconnects/issues
Recently picked up the WNHDE111 kit and am having a few issues. It hooked up fine, and found each other not problem. I have been able to access the internet with nice speeds from the far bridged e...
After many hours of going back and forth with Netgear support on the issue of the WNHDE111 bridge randomly dropping an N connection to it's partner WNHDE111 Access point without any real progress. I finally found something that fixed the problem.
Go to the wireless settings on the access point administration page and disable the Auto Scan for channels. This will fix you on one channel and if the results are the same as mine, a stable N connection to the bridge with no random drops.
My conclusion is that set the autoscan causes the access point to randomly reset the channel and effectively orphans it's bridge partner. So the bridge drops the connection and re-establishes on the new channel.
I didn't upgrade to the beta, although it was suggested. When I finally got onto the beta site there were two posts. One for the beta drive and another which was full of testimonials that the beta didn't solve the drop out problem.
Hope this helps
