Primary Network drops, but the Guest Network doesn't
Furrye38 or to whomever can answer this:
Ever since I upgraded my firmware from 2.2.1.210 to 2.2.1.212 to 2.3.0.32, my Primary Network has become unstable. It drops connections to the internet...
- What other devices (wired and wireless) do you have attached to your primary network?
- Any specific devices that you noticed the issue of dropped internet connection with?
ekhalil:
Thank you for your response. In answer to your two questions:
- 1. What other devices (wired and wireless) do you have attached to your primary network?
We have several different devices attached to the Primary Network. Laptop computers (2 - wireless), cell phones (2 - wireless), a Roku (wireless), a TV (wireless), a desktop computer (wired), tablets (as many as 8 - wireless).
- 2. Any specific devices that you noticed the issue of dropped internet connection with?
We have noticed the issue primarily with the laptops and tablets. My wife reports that her laptop just loses internet; the same with her tablets. My laptop either reports no internet or connects to the Guest Network automatically. It does that because I have connected to the Guest Network previously.
Please note that since first posting this, in an attempt to stablize the Primary Network, I have rebooted the router. So far, it seems to be OK.

It could only have been a "hiccup" in the system after the upgrade :) that is now sorted out with the restart. Please monitor the system and see if further action is still needed :)
