[SOLVED] Constantly loose router wifi connection

[Palmer_1]

Advice needed please,

I have a TP Link router (photo at drive link: https://u.pcloud.link/publink/show?code=XZhpekXZ13iDcnKKHojkSCe6QX7Lef1CYNLX, https://u.pcloud.link/publink/show?code=XZ0zekXZaSNY0De2VTR6K9fstlkIV8zKMt5y) which I am using to wirelessly extend the BT wireless internet which is from a hub around 8m (9 yards) away.

I have setup the TP link properly and it does connect for a few hours however the wifi extended always drops on my Samsung mobile (within range of 2m) and I solve this by refreshing the wifi and my mobile successfully reconnects.

How do I make my TP Link router more reliable? Or do I need a more reliable router?

Thanks

Have you tried to disable the Power Saving Mode?

Locate your wifi adapter in Networking to right click on it -> Properties -> Configure -> Power Management -> uncheck (allow the computer.....OK to save it

And in addition I will add two other suggestions:

1) Check the mini-router's User Guide to ensure that you are angling the various antennas in effective manner. Make take some trial and error to determine "effective" but at least start with the instructions.

2) Use and extension cord to move the router higher or at least be able to move it about to determine if that helps resolve or reduce the drops.

Also being away from the wall may help keep the TP Link mini-router cooler. Before using it carefully feel the device. Continue to do so as the "time in use" nears the "few hours time" point. Determine if the mini-router has gotten very warm or even hot.
