Glazeko Posted March 6, 2017 Share Posted March 6, 2017 So yesterday my netduma decided to start acting weird with the wifi. The wifi completely stopped working yet on lan everything was working fine. I factory reset and still did not work, I even powered it off for 1 minute and nothing. Wifi work around works but I never had that on, but I be having the wireless devices drop off the wifi or not getting Internet. It just works for a little bit. But if I tick off wifi work around it does not work at all... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bagsta69 Posted March 7, 2017 Share Posted March 7, 2017 Is you're R1 close to anything else electrical like a landline base station? Also, just out of interest are you using any Apple Mac devices or any devices with USB3 / C connection? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glazeko Posted March 7, 2017 Author Share Posted March 7, 2017 No, it's been on the same spot for 6 months and this just randomly started yesterday. Nothing new has been added or anything that can interfere. We don't own any apple device. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bagsta69 Posted March 7, 2017 Share Posted March 7, 2017 Have you tried another channel? On the R1 interface go to settings /wifi and select a less used channel. 1,6 and 11 are the most used I think so try a different one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glazeko Posted March 7, 2017 Author Share Posted March 7, 2017 I have man. It seems it only works on wifi work around only. But the wifi is dropping like every 10 minutes. I never had this issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PharmDawgg Posted March 7, 2017 Share Posted March 7, 2017 Just some other steps to try: 1.) Make sure you have WiFi workaround disabled. To do this go to "Settings > Miscellaneous" and un tick "Wifi work-around". 2. ) Use a WiFi analyser to find the least congested channel in your area. Then go to "Settings > WiFi" and choose the best one. 3.) Ensure your wireless devices are not automatically connecting to your ISP hubs WiFi. You should turn off the hub WiFi - to prevent interference with the NETDUMA WiFi and to ensure that all devices are connected to the R1 so Congestion Control can be used to eliminate local lag. 4.) In settings > WiFi change the security mode to PSK2. It is rare but wireless devices near the router could be causing interference. If you have tried all the above steps and are still experiencing the issue move any wireless devices away from the router to see if the issue continues. fuzzy clam and bagsta69 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
