WNDR3400v3 wps flashing on its own
I looked but couldn't find anything similiar. I woke up other day and my wps light was flashing green on its own. It sits above everything on wall elevated so I cam see it from my room and it was not ...
- I guess I'll replace it sometime in near future. Didn't last long. I was thinking issue with hardware. Past it's warrenty time but gives me opportunity to get a higher signal and better netgear router with more features.
I make it habit to change router admin password weekly and ssid passwords bi weekly. Nothing short either with any available character and non full words to avoid brut force lists. Using wpa2-aes. I did a hard reset on router after the incident so far nothing noticeable has occured and I check the network list with no intrudes showing. One thing about this router is if the power goes out or I turn it off by the on off button it lags in 2.4 Ghz only allowing 5ghz connection. Same thing if I update firmware or change the ssid too much it'll cause the routers 2.4 ghz to not work but put out the ssid. I leaned toward hardware and firmware error but I noticed a antenna on side of the neighbors apartment he put up so had me wondering since it was a wifi type outdoor antenna hanging out mounted on window.
Sounds like it's starting to degrade.
