WNR612 keeps losing internet connection when multiple devices active
Hi everyone,
I just bought a WNR612 and the first day or two it worked without a problem. I had it attached to an ACER Win 8 laptop via ethernet cable and am using a cable modem attached also via ethernet cable.
The problems started when I also started accessing the router wirelessly with my iphone 4. Within a few minutes both devices would lose internet connectivity even though they both still showed a connection to the router. The cable modem also seemed to be running just fine. A reboot of the router solved the problem for a few minutes only to die again. If I unattach either of the two devices they work just fine.
What do I have to do so that the router doesn't crash when more than one device (or is it connection type?) is used simultaneously?
