Nighthawk x10 WiFi signal interruption
As the title suggests, I am experiencing constant disconnects with my x10. To the point where every 20 minutes anything connected to the WiFi loses connection momentarily, then it returns. I hav...
*Update*
After now going through 3 of these, and having the same issue. I have decided to dump this thing and get this: https://www.amazon.com/Linksys-Max-Stream-EA9500-802-11ac-Ethernet/dp/B017NT8Q24/ref=sr_1_14?rps=1&ie=UTF8&qid=1539882301&sr=8-14&keywords=router&refinements=p_85%3A2470955011%2Cp_72%3A2661618011
I have had an x10 for a little over a year now, and when it works its great. But it just has been sucking lately. So I am out. Peace!
What is the smart connect?
It is where you set your wireless device names and passwords to the same thing and it will switch you to whichever has better service. It is a setting when you login to the router dashboard. Very poor way to describe it but it is 2 in the morning here and I am a layman here just looking for help on a different problem. Still would like answers to this issue though....
- Gotcha, lol.
I will give that a try and let you know. Today I also plan to wipe it again, and not reload the backup file and start from scratch.. again.
But with 92 devices it’s a real B to reconnect everything. - So if smart roaming and smart connect are the same thing, it looks like a bit of contradictory info.
But since that setting was already disabled, I’ll go ahead and enable it and see what happens.No...Smart roaming and smart connect are two seperate things.
One is found under Advanced > Setup > Wireless settings (Smart Connect), the other is found under Advanced > Advanced Setup > Wireless Settings.
Disabled, lets cross our fingers. Let me say this though. I downgraded firmware, then upgraded to the latest, then did a full factory reset, then reloaded my original settings and since the date of this initial post, I have not had the issue. Not to say it will not come back up.
But in doing that it solved the issue. So now I will wait a few days, and if it does not come back, I will mark yours as the answer, and anyone reading this should do what I explained above. Make sure to back up to a config file. Admin -> back up settings.
