Since I have lived in this house, I have had nothing but problems with the internet an WiFi. I recently bought a TP WDR3600 (N600) in the hope it would allow the two rooms upstairs (really not that far away but convinced something about the makeup of the house severely limits the WiFi). The rooms in question manage to get a signal, normally two bars in mine but with the Virgin 100Mb I still get decent speeds. The router is situated in the living room downstairs, plugged into the SuperHub which acts purely as a modem. The other problematic room upstairs has started using home plugs. Any way I seem to have the following problems:
I did notice today the router was sat next to a newly placed wireless phone base, moved it further away today only to be greeted by another 'reset to default' a few minutes later. The router is updated to the latest firmware. Devices in the house include my PC, iPhones, laptops, several Macs. All of these are on the 2.4GHz channel, which I have just changed to an alternative channel after scanning local networks to ensure no overlap/conflicts.
The third problem has me completely baffled, what could cause it to do this? Any tips for the rest?
*my PC is using an Asus USB-N53 adapter plugged into a long USB extension cable just to be able to get signal.
EDIT - The router has reset itself 4 times tonight
.
- My computer* disconnects from the WiFi and normally won't reconnect until I restart the router (solutions on the PC end rarely work)
- The internet drops despite being connected to the WiFi - this happens to other devices in the house too
- The router restarts to default settings all by itself (this is becoming more frequent - three times in the last few days)
