R6220 disconnects
I have random disconnections with my device, not much in the beginning but now it's more and more frequent ?
any help would be greatly appreciated . As I look around the community site i have seen that there are other
with the same issue?
Hi Ronald-Lisa-201,
It is possibly a network environment issue if your location has a lot wireless networks that may interfere with the signal. You can still try to re-flash the firmware then reset and reconfigure the router as an isolation step. You can check the links below for the steps.

Hi Ronald-Lisa-201,
1. What is the firmware version of the router?
2. Are all devices affected (wired and wireless)?
3. Have you tried resetting the router?
4. Have you tried changing the wireless channel (if issue is wireless only)?
5. Is the connection straight from the modem stable?

Change "auto" to the desired channel number.
