My out of warranty Netgear N300 is losing connectivity at random times and the only thing that's working to restore it is to unplug and reboot it. Does anyone have any suggestions on how I can fix this issue other than buying a new Router?

Try a firmware update ?Q: What was the most positive result of the "Cash for Clunkers" program?

You could also try installing a different firmware such as DD-WRT. That should be a last ditch effort though.Comment

My parents router kept dropping off. After repeated service calls, Cox cable a tech cleaned all connections, especially the grounds. No issues for over a year now.
Same with my Direct TV. I double checked and cleaned my ground connection. No issues since
So make sure to check the grounds.May I always be the type of person my dog thinks I amComment

Just checked the Netgear site for a firmware update for the WNR2000V3 version of my router. There's a Firmware Version 1.1.2.10 but no revision date - guess I'll just go ahead and do it in the hope it fixes the issue...Originally posted by Sierra57"We have four boxes with which to defend our Freedoms: the Soap box, the Ballot box, the Jury box, and the Cartridge box" - Ed HowdersheltComment

So far so good. Its not disconnecting like it was and like yours having to shut the power off and restart it all the time. I have a couple of spare routers so if it keeps up I will just swap it out and email netgear.VW's Are not for Hippies...

DD-WRT is not a "last ditch effort." It is better than almost every proprietary firmware available. I highly recommend doing a google search on it. It really isn't that hard to do by yourself, but PM if you need help.

So, have had to unplug/reset mine once since the firmware update. What would you guys recommend as a better, more reliable router/brand than I have now?Originally posted by Sierra57"We have four boxes with which to defend our Freedoms: the Soap box, the Ballot box, the Jury box, and the Cartridge box" - Ed HowdersheltComment

router
I got sick of dealing with Netgear junk. And because it was past 90 days, they wanted to sell me a tech package for $90 or something ridiculous like that.
Bought an Apple router. No more problems.Comment
