Re: Home Internet - Frequent Disconnects - Possible Fix
This is what I found: (don't know if it's accurate or complete?) Older: Nokia 5G21 (gray) Current: Arcadyan KVD21 (black) Newest: Sagemcomm FAST 5688W (black) My KVD21 is not overheating. My devices rarely disconnect from the gateway. A few weeks ago, I started frequently losing Internet access, even though they are still connected. Sometimesit will repair on it's own. Often I have to reboot the gateway to restore Internet access. Sometimes several times a day. It feels like a software problem on the gateway. Maybe with DNS not working? I almost always have 4 bars on the signal strength, occasionally 3 or 5, but 4 is pretty consistent.33Visto2likes0ComentariosRe: 5G Home internet keeps dropping!
This morning, I have 4bars. Running Time 5d 3h 59m 45s I hope this means my loss of Internet problem is finally fixed. Agreed, rotating the gateway does make a difference.Arcadyan KVD21 hasa display with buttons on one side. Initially I had the display opposite(away) from the window so it's easy to read. Now, I have it turned almost 90 degrees to the right. I also put it on top of a box, on the table, to raise it up higher in the window, with blackout curtains to protect it from the sun. I always use an UPS. I sure wish there were more details available, and more configuration options. The manual says I should be able to configure gateway settings from a browser on a real computer. All I can see is a status screen. It does not have anyplace to log in, so I am stuck squinting at the lame phone app. These tired old eyes need a full size monitor, keyboard, and mouse. I hate phones. That's a children's toy.4Visto2likes0Comentarios
