WZR-HP-G450H intermittent wireless dropout
« on: February 10, 2013, 10:15:30 PM »

Hi,

 

I have been using the WZR-HP-G450H for a few days just fine up until yesterday. 

The wireless connection seems to drop intermittently, it would come back up again after about 1 minute or so. 

As you can probably tell, this is very annoying!

 

This dropout is simultaneous on all devices connected to it. 

I'm talking about a macbook pro, an iMac and a samsung galaxy s3. Internet connection is fine over wired connection and the wireless LED indicator is always on. 

I tested using wifi analyzer on android and it seems to show the wireless is broadcasting and disappearing every 2 or 3 minutes. 

 

It is currently using the user friendly firmware version 1.86, which I have upgraded from the out of the box 1.85. 

 

I'm out of ideas, hope anyone can shed some light.

Well I'm using the user friendly firmware. Don't really want to move to the ddwrt yet.

Anyways, the wireless dropout have since disappeared BUT my internet connection keeps dropping off. I have to do a release and renew every couple of hours which is irritating.

Anyone has experience this before?

Is there any update on this problem, I'm also having troubles with 1.86 dropping wifi, but it never comes back.
