Router or device problem?

[Laura Knotek]

I had no issues with my Lumia 900 connecting to my router using WPA2-PSK security. The past couple days I have to reboot my router every time I come home, otherwise the 900 won't connect to my network. I have 3 PCs and a printer that stay connected.

Device or router problem?

I'm thinking device, since nothing else gets disconnected.

Sounds like a device problem.

My Surface 2 doesn't stay connected to my wireless HP printer but everything else does. I'm not sure what's going on with that either.

Wasn't there a post a while back about WP's having trouble connecting to a certain channel on routers?

I'll have to look. The weird thing is I didn't change any settings on my router. I've been using channel 11.

Maybe it was just some kind of unexplainable bug. I kept my router on channel 11. I went out this afternoon and came home. My 900 connected to my network when I was still outside in my car. No rebooting needed today.

I found a good tool here. It shows all the WiFi networks, their signal, router channel, security type. inSSIDer for Home – Discover The Wi-Fi Around You | MetaGeek The home version is free.
