Title: Wifi connection keeps dropping
Post by: chfoong on June 15, 2020, 10:13:52 AM

Hi all, I have a bit of issue with my newly bought DIR-3060 (3 months old). It has been working fine since day 1 until today. For some reason, the wifi connection from my MacBook kept dropping, and I had to reconnect every few minutes. The router is currently on the firmware v1.11, and the router is literally sitting next to my laptop.

Here are some of the really basic stuff that I had tried.
1. Restarted the MacBook for multiple times
2. Restarted the router for multiple times
3. Reset the router completely.

Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks.

• What region are you located?

Internet Service Provider and Modem Configurations

• What ISP Service do you have? Cable or DSL?
• Any 2.4Ghz or 5Ghz cordless house phones or WiFi APs near by that maybe causing interferences?
• Any other WiFi routers in the area that maybe causing interferences? Link> Use a WiFi Scanner (http://forums.dlink.com/index.php?topic=48327.0) to find out. How many?
• Try setting a manual Channel (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wireless_channels) to a open or unused channel. 1, 6 or 11. 11 for single mode N if the channel is clear. 13 for EU regions. Try channel 48 or 149 on 5Ghz.
