Q1) What are your syptoms ? is just everyone going slow, or are users getting kicked off ? Does the router need reset/power cycled frequently ?

It just stops completely until I reset it, which Seems to only work if I disconnect the power. I will confirm that.

1) Is anyone doing any serious upload/downloading. grabbing large files (over 500meg) regularly ? streaming Netflix while in the office ?

Ive got no way to chase that down unfortunately.

2) Is your wireless in range of a public place or other nearby business where other people could be getting on?

No.


2a) Are you using WPA2 turned on and the password protected ? (ie: not shown in public) (Earlier versions of Wi-Fi security are more hackable...)

It should be, yes.

3) Are people connecting their personal devices ? (phones, tablets, personal laptops..)

This is actually a housing community, so yes.

4) are there other nearby wireless networks that could be interfering ? In the old days, there were like 6(?) Wi-Fi channels and if 2 networks were on the same channel, they could interfere with each other and produce abnormal results. I'm not sure if this is still possible with the latest routers though.

No, we are off in the sticks. The town where we live has a minute signal there but if it shows its never more than one bar.

Thank you for the pertinent questions.

David
