N300 keeps disconnecting
Hey guys, I've set up my router as an access point for my house. It works for 12 to 24 hours but then disconnects from my modem. I've been searching for days but coudn't find the issue. Maybe som...
I apologize for any inconvenience. If this is still within hardware warranty, you may get an RMA.
Well I have tried to set up my network from scratch, but that was not proven successful. My network can be split into 3 parts: ground floor, 1st floor, 2nd floor. The ground floor only has my modem/main-routeur. The modem has a wifi extender specifcally used for my network TV. That same wifi extender on the first floor has an airport extreme working as a bridge connected to it. Finally the netgear N300 router on the first floor is connected via a powerline kit (PL1000) to the modem.
I should point out that I tried to switch the airport extreme with the netgear router. In this scenario the airport extreme works as intended (bridge mode) but the netgear router does not work as intended, and can only function as a router rathet than an access point.
This lead me to conclude that there might be firmware or hardware issues with my netgear router, but I am not really sure.
Did you try resetting the router?
The router can only be configured either in Router or Access Point mode.
Did you follow the steps on page 67 from the manual for Access Point mode?
Yes I have followed the instructions properly, but my router is connected to the LAN port of my modem/router via the powerline. This was not an issue when setting up the airport extreme
If you are saying that you have swapped it out and have tried resetting then it might be possible that it might have gone bad.
Gone bad? Could you please elaborate?
