For the last couple of months my WRT310Nv2 has been loosing WIFI randomly on all devices (rather laptop or smart phone). it will randomly drop for about 1 to 2 minutes then reconnect without issue.
There have been changes in the environment, and the device can be at any distance away from the router. I have power cycled the router several times and have checked all settings. The router is sitting on a metal shelf on my desk but even before the shelf was added as a way to the router higher off the desk it was still dropping WIFI.
This is happening on N and G devices. When WIFI is connected I have full service and good speeds. There have been no additional WIFI signals showing up when I have looked at the wireless connections.
All wired connections stay connected without dropping out. It happens throughout the day/night so there is no real time span in which it seems to happen.
I have the most current (for that model) firmware.
Any ideas on what would cause this or what areas I should look at to troubleshoot?
I am using WEP and manually configured WIFI not Wifi protected setup.
