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...

If you have not updated yet, go ahead and update and then factory reset the router.
Resetting the unit will restore the settings of the router so you will need to configure the settings once again.

When I logged in, it showed the router was running the latest firmware already (V1.0.0.32). I will try factory resetting the router and see if that solves the problem. So far I have been connected for a few hours without the router crashing. I changed the "roaming aggresiveness" setting on my Network Adapter to highest, and uninstalled Microsoft WiFi app. At this point, I'm not sure if doing one of those two things alleviated the problem.

After not having a problem for a few days, the router crashed again. I reset the router and tried it again, and kept having the same intermittent issue. I've returned the tablet, and am waiting on the Surface Pro 4 I was initially going to get.
