Try to change channel on the router.
See page 34 of the manual on how to change the channel.
Hi Elaine,
Thanks for your response.
I am not using any other wireless devices on my network. ( i.e., baby monitors, microwave ovens, cordless phones etc).
Apart from my laptop, 2 mobiles connected to the same Wifi AP.

How far are your devices from the router?
It might the distance.

If that didn't help, it could be that the wireless portion of the router is slowly degrading and it might be time to get a new one.
Hi,
Thanks for the link. I would try the fix Fragmentation Length and CTS/RTS Threshold values to 2304. Hope it works.
I am not happy to downgrade the link speed or replace the router for a software bug. I have earlier used Huawei and DLink routers for more than a decade without an issue. It is indeed disappointing to replace Netgear wifi router every 10 months. Definitely, I would dissuage any of my friends from using one.
Hope your product software quality gets better so that everyone benefits from it.

Hopefully it does.
