I purchased this device about 1 month ago and started having some connectivity issues a couple weeks ago when I was trying to utilized the 5G N network. I initially setup the router to 20/40Mhz and n only in 5G, after a while, I started experiencing some random connectivity lost, then I tried to use 20Mhz, 40Mhz, but made no difference. The symptom is that sometimes once I get connected for about 10s~20s, I lost the assigned IP address and my local ping to the router returns ICMP not route to host. Here is an example:
PING 192.168.0.1 (192.168.0.1): 56 data bytes
64 bytes from 192.168.0.1: icmp_seq=0 ttl=64 time=2.658 ms
64 bytes from 192.168.0.1: icmp_seq=1 ttl=64 time=1.236 ms
64 bytes from 192.168.0.1: icmp_seq=2 ttl=64 time=2.361 ms
ping: sendto: No route to host
ping: sendto: No route to host
Request timeout for icmp_seq 3
ping: sendto: No route to host
Request timeout for icmp_seq 4
^C
I use Mac OSX 10.6/10.7 and from the Network Utility window, I saw the IP Address block went blank while the ping got lost, so it feels like my mac had disconnected from the router for some reason.
It does not happen in any pattern and its not that often, but it starts bothering me cause it happened two times already that while I was in VPN to work and got disconnected. Since last time I had this issue, I upgraded the firmware to 1.0.1.7c (2011.9 released and hope that will solve everything) but still, it does not seem to go away. I wonder if anyone experienced this before? Is this a sign of defect device? Or is there some configuration that I might have messed up?
Thanks!
Jim
