Ive been living at a relatives house for a while and ive been using the wifi from their router not too far away, maybe like 10-20 feet away through a couple walls, so signal isnt amazing, but not horrible usually, but this is just temporary. Anyways, my cousin had configured their router for them, i believe it is a Cisco router, not sure what model though, their ISP is Time Warner Cable. It seems like everyday i get disconnected from the wifi signal whether i am on my iPod Touch or Xbox 360. My hardwired pc is fine though, just slow internet, but that is to be expected i guess (router, isp speed, devices connected and using bandwidth, etc.) Anyways, could this be because of DHCP Lease renewing? At my house before, i had AT&T U-Verse and the technician set up everything, i never messed with the gateway settings or anything they gave me, i had no need to... It was a default ATT Uverse gateway (modem/router/switch combo). I dont know much about DHCP renewal, but i believe the tech from ATT set the gateway to never expire or renew, and i believe my cousin set up this router to renew DHCP leases every whenever. Could this be the reason i get disconnected on WiFi devices every so often? I have problems with it everyday here, as where before with my old untouched-by-me internet was totally fine, so this leads to this suspicion.
Please help. Thanks!
