Firmware version is 3.11NA.Ethernet from D-link modem is connected to vonage modem (internet phone/cordless). Ethernet from vonage is connected to d-link router. I have been  using this from 2 years. I never had issues. we have two laptops with wifi. It is working fine with cable plugged in. wifi is dropping for every minute. help me with this issue.

What wireless modes are you using?
Try single mode G or mixed G and N?
What security mode are you using? WEP, WPA or WPA2? Preferred is WPA-Personal. WPA2/Auto TPIK and AES.
Any other WiFi routers in the area?
What wireless devices do you have connected?
Any cordless house phones?

What ISP Service do you have? Cable or DSL?
What ISP Modem do you have? Stand Alone or built in router?
What ISP Modem make and model do you have?
If this modem has a built in router, it's best to bridge the modem. Having 2 routers on the same line can cause connection problems.



Other things to try:
Ensure DNS IP addresses are being filled in under Setup/Internet/Manual? You can find these under Status/Device Info/Wan section.
Turn off ALL QoS (DIR only) GameFuel (DGL only and if ON.) options.
Turn off Advanced DNS Services if you have this option under Setup/Internet/Manual.
Turn on DNS Relay under Setup/Networking.
Setup DHCP reserved IP addresses for all devices on the router.
Ensure devices are set to auto obtain an IP address.
Set Firewall settings to Endpoint Independent for TCP and UDP.


Turn off all anti virus and firewall programs on PC while testing.
Turn off all devices accept for one wired PC while testing.
