Mobile connectivity problems.

[YEESH_DALE]

I've searched the forums and google with no returns on this problem. So if this has been answered i do apologise!

 

Basically my phone has issues being connected to the Netduma, i've had this issue on old and new firmwares and old and new phones.

 

(currently the LGG4)

 

Problem description:

 

After my phone has been connected to the Duma for a short period, any browsing performed on the phone gets stuck in an endless page loading scenario.

 

An example would be! Opening a webbrowser and searching in google or clicking a frequent tab, and being stuck on page loading.

 

Or opening twitter / facebook and getting stuck in endless load cycles.

 

The only way to break this is to disconnect and reconnect wifi...

 

This is a problem i have been putting up with since i got the router "early adopter" i keep meaning to report the problem, but then i'm either too lazy to do so, or i get distracted.

 

It was suggested to me to download Wifi analyzer and select the best channel, i done this, it had no effect.

Hi Dale

 

Can you disable 'Wifi Workaround' in Settings >> Miscellaneous and see if that fixes the problem

[Netduma Fraser]

Crossy is right, the wifi workaround should work here

[YEESH_DALE]

Such a simple fix, if it works.. Thanks guys..

 

Can i ask what exactly that setting is supposed to be doing, and the pros/cons of it?

This fixed my problem, thank you.

Great to hear that!

 

Theres an issue with some phones and the rescanning of wifi I believe. So the wifi workaround was implemented to fix that issue.

 

As this issue has been resolved I'll close the thread, feel free to make another if needed
