maazsk97 Posted June 23, 2018 Share Posted June 23, 2018 I have had this router for almost 2 years now and recently i have started to face this wifi dropping issue and it gets really annoying when this happens in the middle of a ranked match of Rainbow 6. Wifi works again after restarting the router and the router is in a well ventilated place. The wifi drops happen randomly at any time of day or night.

Administrators Netduma Admin Posted June 23, 2018 Administrators Share Posted June 23, 2018 Hi Maazsk - on the router UI, make sure you uncheck ‘WiFi Workaround’ in Settings. If drop outs continue, try changing the WiFi channel as it’s possible other devices are causing problems. Channels 1,6 or 11 are usually best. Go to Settings for this too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Netduma Staff Netduma Jack Posted June 28, 2018 Netduma Staff Share Posted June 28, 2018 Still experiencing the issue but wired connection works fine. Hmm alright. Try changing the security mode to PSK2 in settings > WiFi. There's also a chance nearby wireless devices are causing interference. Try moving any wireless devices away from the router. I'd also recommend a hard reset. To do this, switch off the modem and Netduma. Wait 5 minutes then turn on the Modem. Wait another minute then turn on the Modem. As a workaround for Rainbow 6, you could use powerline adapters (if you're using WiFi for it due to the layout of your house etc). This can transfer a wired Ethernet connection through your electrics rather than you having to stretch a cable across your house. maazsk97 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I already set the security mode to PSK2 a long time ago and i have switched around channels too. Alright i will hard reset the router and see if i continue to face the issue. I will keep you updated.

e38BimmerFN Posted June 28, 2018 Share Posted June 28, 2018 One thing you can do if you still have wifi problems on the R1, disable the R1s wifi radio and install either a router configured for LAN to LAN AP mode and use it's upgraded wireless as your wifi, or install a wireless client device that would give same wifi features, and keep the R1 working as your main host router. You could even install a wireless MESH system as well. Something to consider later on. maazsk97 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
