Wireless turning itself off
Hi, I have searched for this on the forum already and, while other people are experiencing random loss of WiFi, none of their symptoms mach what I'm getting. I have a Netgear N150 Wireles Router WNR1000 v3 and firmware is up-to-date (Firmware Version V1.0.2.68_60.0.93). Once or twice a day we notice there is no network available and when I look at the lights on the front of the router, the blue 'wireless' and the green 'Push 'N' Connect' lights are off. I press the wireless button on top of the box (it is mounted vertically) and, as expected, they both come back on again. The router is turning off WiFi on its own. The ethernet network part is running fine all the time (sometimes I'm using the computers plugged in to port 3 The DSL modem is plugged into the Router WAN port using an Ethernet cable, my main PC is plugged into LAN1, a Linux box is pluged in to LAN2, LAN3 is unused and my phone/hub is on LAN4, which as far as I can tell is completely typical. and I never notice any interruption or degradation to these ports, just the wireless turning itself off. It is scheduled to turn off between 0:00 and 06:00. Has anybody else experienced this? I have tried a reset but it has not made any difference. Is this a known problem? Thanks in advance for your help on this!Solved
