Windows 10 laptop causes WNDR4500v3 to crash/restart every couple of minutes
I've been using a WNDR4500v3 (current firmware is 1.0.0.32) for over a year with no issues. Our cellphones, Ipads, apple TV, a 2007 iMac, and two laptops running Windows 8.1 all work fine. I just bou...

And again after 10 minutes. My N900 router genie does not allow me to set any QoS rules as far as I can find. I don't think it's a bandwidth issue though - at the moment there are six devices attached to the router, but only 1 is highly active (win10 running a youtube video). The only other active device is my win8.1 laptop which i only use to crosscheck the win10 laptop. Everyone else is sleeping and not using their devices.

Hi,
I am also having same issue of the router being restarted automatically every few minutes. In my case it happens even if there is no active device connected to the wifi. Could you please provide me the beta FW solution?
Thanks in advance.

Hi ElaineM. In response to your earlier messages about contacting you for the WNDR4500v3 reset when a laptop connects, I am having a similar issue with an Acer laptop with a Qualcomm Atheros QCA61x4A wireless adapter. Do you think the beta fw will help me?
- OrphavikeSep 21, 2017AspirantHi. I'm having the same issue with my router. It's the same exact router. It reboots when I try to access specific websites with my Windows 10 laptop. Please send me the beta FW. Thanks
