An annoying issue. Is there a setting I should try. I have done a factory reset and new setup, but problem still occurs regularly.

What firmware are you on? What modem is it connected to?how frequently is it happening? Do devices say "connected no internet" or what exactly happens?

It is almost impossible to understand what is going on at your end, given how little information you have provided. But you seem to be trying to connect a router to a modem router.

Many questions apply to different types of device, so you might get responses here, but you might get more help, and find earlier questions and answers specific to your hardware, in the appropriate section for your device.

Thank you. The Netgear router is connected to the Australian Broadband Network. It connects to the internet ok, but regularly, once or twice a day the WiFi drops the internet. I don't think this is an NBN problem as a power off/on the Netgear WIFI/Router fixes the problem.

There are lots of different networks that go under the NBN label. It just mean "Internet in Australia" What is an NBN network and is my NETGEAR DSL modem router compatible? | Answer | NETGEAR Support Broulee wrote: I don't think this is an NBN problem as a power off/on the Netgear WIFI/Router fixes the problem. That is your diagnosis, but it may well be wrong. If you can't bring yourself to provide proper details of your modem, fine. You will just have to carry on with your dodgy network.
