I have a Linksys E1200 router.
I frequently have connection issues. By connection issues, I mean that all of a sudden, my internet stops working even though I am connected to the wifi network. Or I often notice that my smartphone are not connected to the wifi network and when I try to connect to the network, it fails to connect. In order to resolve these issues I have to one or all of the following troubleshooting methods:
1) Turn off Wifi on my laptop, turn on again, and reconnect to the wifi network
2) Remove the power plug from the router, wait 10-15 secs, and reconnect the power to the router
This issue happens daily, almost 1-2 times a day. It could be happening more times during the day but I might not be home to observe it.
I have roommates 3 more roommates that are also connected to the network with their devices. In addition, I live in an apartment complex with nearby networks also.
My wifi settings are set to the following:
WPA2 Personal security
Mixed mode: B, G, N
Channel width: Auto 20/40 Mhz
Channel: 11
I chose channel 11 because it was furthest from all G networks.
How can I resolve the issue for the frequent connection drops?
