Wireless turning itself off
Hi, I have searched for this on the forum already and, while other people are experiencing random loss of WiFi, none of their symptoms mach what I'm getting. I have a Netgear N150 Wireles Rou...
Is there anything in the router log which might relate to this? Perhaps the router is accessing the NTP server at these times and setting its clock, if so a scheduled time setting start of 00:00 may be the reason for the temporary loss of WiFi. If you set that start time to 00:05 for example then if it is a time related issue the problem may disappear.
Some random ideas:
- Make sure the router is receiving adequate ventilation and is out of direct sunlight, in case it is overheating.
- Try changing the Wi-Fi channel, in case a neighbor has congested the current one.
- Try disabling the wireless schedule, in case it has a bug.
- Change both admin and Wi-Fi passwords, in case someone has gained access to your router and/or network.
