WNDR 4300 loses 2.4GHz Radio daily

I purchased a 4300 router in November of 2013. Soon after purchase I had to reboot the router daily to keep the wireless working. Tech support provided a new firmware update which solved the problem. ...

The issue was never about the Cable Modem. I fixed the issue by swapping out the Router for someone else's and so far it's been rock solid.

Thanks anyway.

Has anyone seen any good results on this?

I am on a WNDR 4300 v1 with 1.0.2.80 firmware.

I have used wifi analyzer to identify that channel 11 for 2.4 is not being used in my nearby area.

Still daily the 2.4 radio drops, while the 5 continues to function.

I have made sure that the guest networks are turned on

I am trying to revert back to firmware 1.0.1.42 to see if that helps

DR5150 Try setting the Fragmentation Length and RTS/CTS Threshold to 2304 under 2.4Ghz settings which can be found under Advanced > Advanced Setup > Wireless Settings.

After adjusting the settings, reconnect your 2.4Ghz devices and observe your connection.

Let us know what happens.

  I actually went to 1.0.1.60 for the firmware.
  I had to reset again this morning.
  I'll next give the settings you suggest a try.

    I just tried those settings & all external web access using a 2.4ghz connection fail.
