Kourt Posted August 25, 2017 Share Posted August 25, 2017 I've had the netduma for over a year now. Recently I've noticed the wifi connection frequently dropping and restarting. Anything hard wired continues to work so I know it's not my isp/modem. I'm in the newest firmware and haven't had to do any updates. If I go unplug and restart the modem it always fixes the issue but it's temporary because after an hour or two it will drop again. Like I said it's only the wifi connection. I don't have any interference and I've searched through about every related forum I could find and no solution. I've had other routers fail on me before, specifically xfinitys modem/router combos. The wifi module would fail on theirs and I'd have to get a replacement about every year. I'm pretty sure the wifi module in the router is also dying. Anyone else having this issue?

Kourt Posted August 25, 2017 Author Share Posted August 25, 2017 Ironically while trying to post that original post the wifi module went out again and I had to disconnect from wifi and use my cell data to be able to post that. But my Xbox and computer that are hard wired are working fine all other devices connected over wifi drop their signal. I've tried different channels etc and nothing.

Kourt Posted August 25, 2017 Author Share Posted August 25, 2017 Yes I tried all of those steps over the last few days and haven't seen any improvement. The only fix is a hard reset which is only temporary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted August 26, 2017 Administrators Share Posted August 26, 2017 Unfortunately you're outside our warranty period so we wouldn't be able to replace it but make a post in the 1 on 1 section and I can take a look and hopefully find a solution Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ggkthx Posted August 27, 2017 Share Posted August 27, 2017 I am actually experiencing the same issue. Wired connections continue to work while the wifi goes down. A factory reset/reboot usually solves it temporarily. Disable the wifi on the R1 and try using a spare router as an AP while they sort it out in the the new firmware.

Kourt Posted August 29, 2017 Author Share Posted August 29, 2017 I just checked. My brother actually bought it for me so I didn't know the exact date it was purchased but He bought it in November last year so it's not even 10 months old yet and have been seeing this issue for about a month now. Never saw this problem before and it keeps getting progressively worse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it is within a year then we can replace it. Include a link to this topic as well please. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
