Solution: Always need to reset wireless router to have internet?

Is your wifi always need to reset to gain internet?

Mostly cause of the problem listed below.

1. Channel Frequency interference - may be another nearby electronic device conflicting your wifi frequency.

  • Solution- Change your wifi channel from Auto to a dedicated channel (ex: channel 6) to do this log-in to your router, mostly(192.168.1.1) in wlan setting change the channel from auto to any channel 1-11.
    WLAN channel setting.
2. Bandwidth overloading - some router halt because many users are connected to wifi and downloading big files specially torrent services and the router can't handle it.

  • Solution- Limit the device that can connect to your wifi and reduce the download limit.
3. Router is overheating.
  • solution- place your router in a well ventilated area.
4. WPA/WPA2 bug - for some reason changing your security to WEP solved the problem.

5. Firmware - update your router firmware to a latest versions.

6. IP Address distribution - If your wifi using dhcp protocol and there is also a static ip connected to your router it may cause a problem.
  • Make sure the dhcp address and static address are not on the same ip address range. (ex: your static is 10.0.0.0 range and your dhcp 192.168.0.0 range) to avoid same ip on different device.
