Wise men in the WD Router community,

My Net N900 router has the latest software update, i.e. 1.07.16

HW model is IC 4833A-F2F.

it is connected to a motorola SB6121 cable modem DOCSIS 3.0.

The router drops the wireless communication (only the 2.4Ghz channel is On, the 5Ghz is OFF), and the only way to restart wifi is to power the unit off and then on again. The Wifi signal strength is very good even though Wifi communication is not functioning on all wireless devices, ipad, iphone, droid phones, kindle tablet, etc.

Even though the wifi is not working, the internet via LAN cable is working just fine with the router.

Any suggestions on how to fix this issue?

Take care.

I’ve started experiencing the same symptoms. My firmware level is 1.05.12.

Would appreciate advice if I should upgrade to 1.07.16 or not.  Seems that this later level doesn’t address this problem.

Thanks.
