I just purchased and installed this router, and I'm having constant issues with the connection dropping at random intervals. It's not computer-specific: the connection drops on my personal laptop (MacBook Pro running OS X 10.8) and my work laptop (Dell...

My router started doing the same thing - random signal drops for a short period, but enough to lose printer and scanner connections. Suggest you call their 800# - sorry don't have it on me - you should have received a welcome email from Mediabridge with the #. They'll arrange for you to get a replacement unit. They stand behind their product - good people. That said, if my next unit has the same issues we'll be having a money-back conversation! Good luck.

Hello, if I understand you, this is posible. In fact, I have my actual connection very similar to your description. Look, I have one wireless router as my internet source and this is at my living room, so because my room is so far from there I connect one tp-link(1) to this principal router through a ethernet cable and I connect the another Tp-link(2) at my room and in this point with another ethernet cable I connect another wirless router with the same internet signal, so that is magic, now I have internet covering all the place without drop signal. I hope it helps.

I have it connected to my n router (it's not an AirPort Extreme, however). I do, sometimes loose connection, but I have speaker in my garage, three or four walls in between the speaker and router. In my opinion, it should not loose connection. I don't know if it's my router (I don't have connection issues with any other devices - laptop, desktop. two iPhones and an iTouch. )Hope this helps!!

Solved the problem. You have to turn off the "home group" in windows. Once that's off, you'll have a flawless connection that no longer drops.

More than likely its your router, I tried everything I could to avoid buying another one cause I was having the same problem with my Linksys Router and as soon as I changed routers the problem was solved.

I'm using Windows 8.0 and it seems to (sort of) work. While I am currently using this adapter while writing this (and it seems to be working ok), I have lots of connectivity issues when downloading anything it seems like. Whether this is a Windows 8 compatability issue, out of date drivers, or just a faulty adapter - I have no idea. At seemingly random times, the download speed will start to decrease rapidly until it loses signal completely. Unplugging it and plugging it back in is the only fix I've found so far, and that's just a temporary fix until it decides to lose the signal again. UPDATE: My computer has since updated to Windows 8.1 and the adapter no longer works at all. It can't find ANY available wifi networks to connect to (I live in an apartment complex, so typically like 20 different potential networks would show up). Also, I feel it's worth mentioning that I have a chromebook which has never had a problem connecting to my internet, so I know it's a problem with the adapter and not something else.

I bought my WRT54G router back in October. Hooked it up to a desktop running on Windows XP and a laptop running wireless with Windows Vista. Without fail practically every moth since purchase, I will lose the wireless connection and end up having to call Linksys. They do walk me through correcting the problem, but this takes an hour, hour and a half out of my day every time it happens. I've heard all kinds of stories from the Linksys techs as to why this keeps happening, but bottom line... I'm looking for a new router.

I can't say that I do. I have a D-link DIR 820L router and never lose connection. The router is only about 3 feet away from it also so I don't know if that has anything to do with it.

I have a cable connection and an ancient wireless-G router. I haven't experienced any connectivity problems. My only problem so far is getting used to WIN 8 (I'm almost 66 and getting set in my ways :-D).

You're lucky you can unplug/replug and get it to work every time. Plenty of times it simply disconnects me altogether and I have to restart my computer, several times per day.

I bought two about 5 months ago and have not had any problems. Perhaps the problem is with your router.

that's more of a complex issue, You would probably have better luck renewing your connection lease on your router on an interval. best of luck.

Yes. This has been a consistent problem for me with the MacBook Air sadly. After a lot of searching I found something that helped. In your network connections turn off the box that says 'search for networks automatically'. Everytime the connection drops it will now go back to only your network rather than searching. That helped.

I haven't experienced that specific issue myself. My area is much smaller so most of the time if I start getting slower signal I have to manually switch to the stronger network.

Kept having trouble with mine dropping connection - Switched to an Asus . P.S. had two diff Netgear adapters & both did it.

No, I Have a dual band router and it only picks up 2.4. In fact that is my last favorite part of this laptop is the wireless. It constantly drops my wifi. It shows connected bit is not. I've bought a new USB wireless and a new w router to make sure it's my network card's issue. Other than that, it's been a good laptop.
