I might have an explanation. Maybe. Thanks. This might be paying attention to. Again, probably can't do much about it, but it makes me wonder exactly what the hell they're doing up there. I know that there are ample reasons that can cause the issue otherwise, but it was highly coincidental and suspect nonetheless. BTW. As soon as I posted this thread, I was booted out of my account and could not log back in. Hmmmm. |

I might have an explanation. Maybe. I've seen a couple of these posts, I too have been experiencing connectivity loss with router/wifi, I have to unplug both to reset them and everything comes back, no air traffic to speak of but it is odd that I've been experiencing this in just the past couple of weeks and every day it drops at some point. Haven't had difficulty with either in years. Something's up. |

I might have an explanation. Maybe. I had a problem with mine doing that but it was the phones and tablets causing it. I got a 2nd router amd had to manually assign each device an IP and that fixed it. Not at all saying the networks arent getting sniffed. Just saying that phones and tablets can cause a network to do random drops that affect the entire network. |

I might have an explanation. Maybe. [link to www.metageek.net] install inSSIDer, see what channel you are on and see how many others are on the same channel. If someone else is on the same channel ' it will drown out your signal so you lose connectivity. this is called co-channel interference. to fix it you will need to pick a channel no one else is using like 11 or 6 or 1. If all three are saturated then you need to invest in 5 Ghz router for house and 5 Ghz radio for the laptop. Then you can use one of 26 channels. |
