Wifi problems iPad & iPhone

[daydotz]

Recently my iPhone 4 & iPad 3 have been unable to connect to my netgear dg834 v4 when they do they drop the connection randomly

As far as I can tell the laptops that use the same network are fine

Anyone else notices wifi problems with certain routers ?

Yup. Happens all the time.

No problems with my D-link...that I still need to upgrade but really can't be arsed.

i think the coverage is a bit flakey now its a shame as i love the dg834 & i cant find anything id consider suitable to replace it

i need something i can stand on its side
broadcom chipset
customizable Mac labels & management
reliable
doesn't get to hot
dns settings changed on the router
custom firmware would be nice for the nerd in me
nothing locked down & slow if you have used a techicolour tg582n with either o2/be you will know what i mean you cant change a thing

If its wireless N try setting it to 54mbps wireless rather than 100 or whatever it is

I did this, changed it to g and it's worked fine ever since.

You could try different Channels if you get further problems.

My N600 is Dual band - I have the IPad on the 5ghz range and my iPhone on 2.4ghz as it doesn't do 5ghz - less interference/crowded on the 5ghz shame the iPhone can't do this frequency.
