Try to reset the router to factory default and reconfigure it manually. Change the channel of both 2.4Ghz and 5Ghz.
Hi PChell,
If your device is D7000, I would suggest posting it under DSL modem.

I am still having the same problem. Wifi disconnects after about 2 days. Both 2.4 and 5ghz. I have tried the recommended channel changes, and a factory reset with a manual setup. Nothing seems to help. It dropped again yesterday. Had to reboot the router.

I have had the same thing. Purchased the router in Mid January 17 and worked for two weeks without issue. Since then it's a continuous reboot of the router. This A.M. can't even download a 48MB file without wifi crash.
