Keep having to refressh my connection
I have the N600 WIFI Router WNDR3400V2 and all of a sudden, the last 3 months I am having to refresh my router's connection to the Internet, after a bit of idleness. I don't understand why this is h...
it's a possibility that the router is starting to degrade.
normally, this should have been corrected by loading the latest firmware and resetting the unit.
however, in your case it's different it seems that it's giving additional problems as you continue to rectify the problem.
perhaps, it's time to get a newer router and be happy :smileyhappy:
The only computer that seems to be affected is my main computer and that is directly hooked to the router. At first, I thought it was just a Windows 10 problem but I remember that I also had issues while it was a Windows 7 unit, and nothing has changed. I have also eliminated all the problem devices that originally sparked my original post, of which this is an off-spring post. Only a select few can now acces my WIFI at this time. Now, I will also say that this unit, is a well used 3 to 4 year old veteran, if you will. Now could that have something to do with it dropping the signal and do you think it may be time to replace it with much newer technology?
Thanks again for your help and info.

That is the conclusion that I am leaning to. So I will now get a replacement unit and go from there and hopefully, with the newer technology, it will cure the problem completely and give me much more flexibility.
thanks,
