    Hi All,

     

    If the issue happens after the update of firmware, try to reset the router to factory default and manually reconfigure the device.

After I upgraded my firmware to 1.0.7.2 mine started dropping connection. I down graded back to 1.0.5.70 and the problem went away.

      I tried downgrading but that didn't work. I have not yet tried factory resetting and configuring my settings because I don't know what to make my settings after the reset.

        Hi matleigh,


        Check the each settings on the UI and take note of the configurations before doing reset.
