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.

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.
DR5150 After upgrading the firmware to the latest, did you reset? Right now, I understand that you're on 1.0.1.60, after downgrading to that firmware did you reset?
If you haven't try the following reset instructions below and see if it will help.
1. With the unit powered on, press and hold the reset button on the back of unit for 30seconds.
2. Without releasing the reset button, unplug the unit and hold reset for another 30 seconds.
3. Power on the unit while STILL pushing the reset button and count for another 30 seconds before letting it go.Reconfigure the router and see if it will help.
Let us know what happens.
I have upgraded again to the current firmware, performed a reset and set the fragmentation length and RTS/CTS threshold to 2304.
This configuration lasts longer now before a reset is needed, (3-4 days) but still looses the 2.4GHz radio signal.
