I found an amazining deal on an Asus RT-N56U last black friday and when I started it up I got 1/3 more range and speed than my old Linksys e2000. Soon after I discovered my devices would randomly lose their connection and I'd have to rejoin the net work. I thought this problem was resolved becuase I realized my 5Ghz network and 2.4Ghz network had the same name so I just turned off the 5Ghz because its not a very refined technology yet. I thought everything was fine until i saw the problem come up again but not as often, all devices, except the ones directly pluged into the router, would lose connection and I'd have to reconnect. I hoped that the firmware updates would fix this but it never got completely fixed. This sounds like its a problem where the router constanly reboots itself, but i don't think so because the devices directly pluged in don't lose connection. Is this a problem with, the specific router, asus routers, asus firmware, or is my specific router defective???

I got the same router in summer 2011 and it's still the same today. I never experience your connection problem. I use wi-fi with my xbox360, PS3, ipods, laptops, tv, HTPC and printer. Work great with a lot of devices on it.

If you don't already tried to update the firmware, go for it.

Also, try to use another channel

Also, try older firmware.

I'm currently using older version because newest version are not stable enough at this moment.
1.0.1.8n
