WNR2000v3 periodically losing wireless connection to Apple Airport Express
I have a wireless connection to Apple Airport Express from my laptop via Netgear router WNR2000v3 used for streaming music. While connected to the internet music website, Spotify, I can play music w...
I don't use my iphone with Airplay. I'd rather use the Spotify app to listen with some good earphones (not ear buds). As far as your suggestion about using another pc, I only have the one laptop.
For the past two days, I've experienced no issues. But when it happens again, I will just reset the router rather than restart my pc.
Thanks for your advice and suggestions.
Welcome to the community, roymail
Are there any other wireless devices that are having similar issues?
Will it disconnect as well if you use a smartphone?
Will you get the same result if you connect to a different wireless connection?
Try to isolate further whether if it's the router or the Apple Airport Express.
No other devices using the Airport Express. The only way to reestablish the connection once lost, is the reboot the laptop pc. Connection made either way, reboot computer or Netgear router. Once connection is made, it never drops during use playing music. Problem happens occasionally while not in use. This morning the connection was still available. Most of time, all is well. It's a periodic happening. I'd rather reboot my Netgear router rather than restart my laptop when it occurs. It's a strange anomaly. Thanks for weighing in to my issue.
You're welcome.
