8800NL Wireless dropout

Post by gribzy »

Hi,

Just got my 8800, seems really good so far. However, twice now the wireless signal has just "vanished" and it's disconnected itself.

I can see the SSID fine, but the router will not allow anything to connect to it. The only solution i've found so far is to turn the router off and on again, everything then works normally.

I'm using a TP Link TL-WDN4800 card in the PC, and have various Android phones connecting as well (Samsung S4, Sony Xperia Z3 and Nexus 4 mainly).

DId a quick search on here but couldn't see anything matching this problem? Any pointers appreciated!

Thanks,

Phil

Solved, as per here:

viewtopic.php?f=19&t=4108

Multicast stream on the LAN was causing the issue, by enabling the setting as per the link above:

1. Click on 'Configuration >> Wireless'
2. Enable 'Wireless Multicast Forwarding (WMF)'
3. Click on 'Apply'

Things are now fine.

Many Thanks DT
