Only think I might try is a factory reset and set up from scratch.
If the problem continues, maybe test some LAN cable connections instead of using wireless for streaming and see if anything changes.

IF the problem still continues, I recommend that you phone contact your regional D-Link support office and ask for help and information regarding this. We find that phone contact has better immediate results over using email.
Let us know how it goes please.

ok i'll try the factory reset.

i'm not really sure how using a cable will prevent the wifi from doing that, but will give it a try.

[björn]

out of interest, why are you asking if it's hot? what is too hot? what would that be an indication of?

[FurryNutz]

Keep us posted on how it goes. At some point I would recommend considering getting into 5Ghz wireless for streaming if LAN cables can't be placed. I prefer using cables for most things including streaming devices. Also the use of PowerLine devices could be included to help with LAN cable placement.

Seen some routers affected by heat and fail due to it. IF you think yours could be experiencing this, you can always place a laptop cooler fan under the modem and test. I use one on general purpose for my router all the time.

Ja, this router is like 2 years old, don't really want to replace it right now. Cables are just a pain in the butt. I try to avoid additional cables like the plague.

Will try the cooling thing too. Did not even know this was a thing.

Thanks again.

Heat issues are usually seen on dual band items however less prominent how.

Give LAN cables a try. Wireless can't perform like copper cabling.

Looks like I fixed it!

I restored the router to factory default settings. That still did not fix the issue.
Then I changed Bandwidth to 20MHz in 2.4G Band and 40MHz in 5G Band.

Haven't had a single drop since. I also asked my ISP if my line is still dropping and they report that since the 15th (when I made this change), there has been no irregular disconnects in my logs.

So simple, and I have been battling with this for close to 2 years now....

Glad you got it working now. Enjoy.
