B1300 wifi disconnecting

bolo121 · 2021-03-22T17:55:36.986Z

My B1300 seems to be super unstable and keeps dropping the wifi connection all the time.
Has anyone experienced this and is there a way to fix it?

Been having the same issue for months now and suspect that it happens more often when running a VPN on the router. Tried to factory reset a few times after updating to 3.105 and it happens less frequently but still waiting for a fix

Man that sucks, the main reason I bought it was to selectively enable VPN for some devices.

Maybe you can describe in more details? Do you mean wifi drop at a fixed interval? This should be fixed in snapshot firmware.

If you have other situation pls describe.

It happens randomly every now and then.
At least 4 to 5 times a day
Windows will say network connection lost.
The ssid will disappear from the list of networks.
After a few seconds it comes back online and reconnects

It looks like it is caused by dhcp renew causing network to restart. This should have been fixed in the most recent snapshot. Can you try?

This is now resolved. The problem was with the router power adaptor.
I was using a power strip for all my devices together on a shelf.
During testing i unplugged it from the power strip and plugged straight to a wall socket.
Since then there have been no drops.
I swapped out power strips to make sure and this behaviour persisted even then.
The power supply looks to be affected by electrical noise from other devices in close proximity i guess.

Interesting. But glad that it is solved.
