Hi all,
I'm with telecom, I have a Netgear N600 adsl2+ modem router. I connect using the wifi feature. It's been really pissing me off recently, as the connection to the router just drops out (all devices, not just mine). I have no idea why, it then won't even let me connect back to the router, even though it is visible in the networks section. I've tried resetting my network card etc, but like I say, it's all devices which has the same issue (macs and PC). The only option is to restart the modem manually (as I can't connect to the network to restart using the onboard software). Even then, sometimes the internet connection doesn't kick in. So i'm left trying to manually switch the modem off and on until the internet light connects.
It's driving me insane. Telecom can't help as it is a 3rd party modem. Any advice? It has to be a setting issue with my modem, as opposed to a computer specific issue.
edit: also - we don't have a wireless land line phone. I kicked that a while ago as the kids kept on losing it and the battery would die. I don't think we have any other hardware which uses the frequency. I've changed the channel and reduced the mode from 300Mbps to 54Mbps. That seems to have reduced the frequency of the issue, but hasn't solved it.
