internet connection being dropped by x10

When wired in, no issues
I brought out my much older netgear router running on a different channel, no is...
- Do you have “Access Control” enabled, and/or can you see your devices? I’ve had issues of losing my devices after editing a device from the Access Control page. I then would get numerous internet drops. I fixed this by doing a hard reset, and if you happened to save the config when everything was okay, you can rebuild the settings faster.
I bought the X10 17 days ago my last router went bad. The X10 contantly drops my Wireless Connections. The internet is faster wireless than wired really don't understand that. I just so happen to find this message board and fine others are having the same problem. You buy the best fancy product available because you want the best and you have dropped connections frequently it's terrible......that is my rant. I have QOS enabled so I will disable and see if that fixes Wireless problem. I updated firmware to 1.04.12. It's has to be still under warranty and I bought the Best Buy extended warranty but you know replacing it with same model not going to fix my issue if it's the product. I'm work from home person on VPN I can't have it disconnecting it stops my software from working. I placed wired connection to my work labtop has not disconnected once.
- Save yourself countless hours of frustration and return it.
I have tried everything that’s been recommended here. The only thing that helped reduce the drops was switching to channel 161.
Hope they resolve this issue someday. This will be my last Netgear router- Thank you I’m trying 161
try this, change your 5ghz wifi channel from what it is to something else. 161 has been working great for me so far; no dropped connections in almost a full week now.
The other thing I discovered today was citrix netscaler was slowing down my wifi connection. I went from 180mbps to 425mps just by removing citrix netscaler.
