    Dropping Internet Connection on WiFi

    Awesome! I assumed that could be the results. I'm very pleased with Merlin's firmware. I've never had any real issues from the hardware or firmware from Asus. I've installed probably about 50 of these routers in my residential and small business customers over the last 2 or 3 years since they...

    Dropping Internet Connection on WiFi

    Good ideas... only one thing: I have the devices (Chromecast and FireStick) plugged into the USB on the TV for power. Devices are powered off until the TV comes on. TV in the bedroom only comes on for about 30 mins before bed. During the day it's off. Chromecast is on most of the time because my...

    Dropping Internet Connection on WiFi

    Thanks for the feedback. No, the business location is in a medical clinic. They mainly deal with impoverished women. Gynecological stuff but no real equipment that will interfere with the 2.4Ghz frequency. Main equipment that is electronic is a small ultrasound machine and those automatic...

    Dropping Internet Connection on WiFi

    Maybe test your theory by putting back on the latest firmware and see if it does it again? I could have been a flaky install of the firmware? Just my thoughts. Don't be sorry! Your input is welcome as it helps us all out to figure out the issues so we can all have better stability!

    Dropping Internet Connection on WiFi

    Interesting sitavata.... Something Merlin can look at maybe? I might try the downgrade too. Which router are you using?

    Dropping Internet Connection on WiFi

    You bring up a good point sfx2000. Good question for a major network brainiac! lol... Merlin: Is there a practical limit of connected devices (wired/wireless) devices to these residential grade routers? I know theoretically they should support 255 devices (per IP address routes available) but is...

    Dropping Internet Connection on WiFi

    Thank you for the feedback. I have monitored the logs in the Comcast modem. I have the modem in bridge mode. Comcast residential modem IP is 10.0.0.1. To be on the safe side, I am paying a rental fee and I can change my modem whenever I want. I took it down to the Comcast store and they swapped...

    Dropping Internet Connection on WiFi

    Thank you for your feedback L&LD. Thanks Brian540 for sharing too. I've been using the reboot feature at 4am to see if this helps. I setup an RT-N66R at my personal home. I have Comcast too. It was time for a router upgrade anyways. Only problem is my automation system uses WEP only. I left the...

    Dropping Internet Connection on WiFi

    Ok. 9 is the only one no one is on. I'll stay on that one. I was setting up the ping monitor and it's asking for my "Post Code" and I assumed it was my postal code? Said it was invalid. I probably am missing something here. (noob) -Nevermind... the ping monitor is a UK site and I'm in the US...

    Dropping Internet Connection on WiFi

    Channel 3 and 5 are not in use. Currently the router is the only one on channel 9. Should I choose one of those?

    Dropping Internet Connection on WiFi

    Yes, I use "Wifi Analyzer" free app on Google Play store. I am using the logging feature. Nothing seems out of the ordinary. I'm using an old 512MB USB drive I had laying around so I can keep long logs without a problem. I'm signing up for the ping monitor. I'll see if I can use it on multiple...

    Dropping Internet Connection on WiFi

    20Mhz is currently where I'm at. I read that in the forums to use 20Mhz for better stability. Customer originally had a Netgear router at the residential location and it was doing something similar. After talking to Comcast they said it was definitely the router. So I went and purchased the ASUS...

    Dropping Internet Connection on WiFi

    Thanks for the feedback. Hopefully we can figure this out. I was looking into purchasing some hardware testing devices and wanted to avoid spending $2k on something that may or may not give me the results I am needing.

    Dropping Internet Connection on WiFi

    Thanks in advance for the help. I'm a full time self employed computer tech with over 20 years experience. I am not super fluent in network troubleshooting. I am pretty good at basic and some minor advanced features in networking. I do home automation programming/installation and computer...
