Netgear N150 wireless router ~ drops connection

[JBH1876]

Have a router with an issue of dropping connection after a time usage. Router is in another room maybe 20' away from PC... I know there many reasons for dropped connections. Hoping someone with the same router has had the same problem. PC is new ....HP model unsure

Replace the antenna with a higher gain one, and monitor the eletrical voltage to the router. It does not take much of a drop to cause the router to latch up and it will take a powercycle to get it working right again.

May help.

My immediate thought is if there was configuration problem it would not connect at all.???

A latch up, may have real slow or no internet connection.
Power cycle the router. To do that:
Reach in back and unplug the power,
wait 30 seconds,
Plug power back in.
when back up, test the internet.

I have to do that to my modem and router a few times a year. Very common for that to happen. Why I use a UPS [Uninteruptable Power Supply] so I do cut down on the number of latch ups during the year. Voltage drops are what gets me most of the time.

Is the router set to on demand or always on?

Have you updated the firmware to the latest version?
