Swapped my Cisco WAP321 and WAP121 for 2 Linksys EA6200 picked up over the weekend on sale for $69 at Best Buy and connected standby as well as the connection being usable on resume is completely corrected.
Don't rely on the router's built in web server's "Check Online Now for Latest Firmware Version" feature. Mine kept saying it had the latest version at 1.21! I'm hoping that this update fixes the intermittent lost WiFi I have been experiencing on all my devices.Hi everyone,
I too was experiencing the exact same symptoms with my AT&T 2520 purchased on Monday. Wifi would drop out about every 10 minutes, sometimes quicker. My first attempted solution was to update the firmware on my wireless router, and that has 100% fixed my problem. No more dropouts and it's been smooth sailing. Man I love this piece of hardware.
Router: D-Link DIR-655 (Hardware version A3)
Original Firmware: 1.11
Updated Firmware: 1.37
I was rolling with a firmware that was 6 years old - shame on me.
I assume you were giving other users a head's up. I went to the product support page on the company website, which everyone should do.Don't rely on the router's built in web server's "Check Online Now for Latest Firmware Version" feature.
I believe this is the same router I have. For it to be one of the better routers, I'm not really impressed. If my son is watching Netflix on his Wii and I want to download a Prime movie on my Kindle Fire, the Kindle will not finish loading and the Wii buffers the download, way too much.

Hi,
I have also Linksys EA4500 router and 2520 (and 1520).
Connection was dropped all the time.
After setting
5GHz to N-only and
2,4GHz to B/G
2520 (and 1520) + other devices work just fine with Linksys.
I replaced my old WiFi router with an Asus RT-AC68R. Things appear to have improved. At least my daughter doesn't complain about losing her internet connection any more. Over the last few weeks, however, my 2520 will still get into a Limited state and lose network connectivity. Turning off WiFi or going into Airplane mode and then turning things back on rarely fixes the issue. Rebooting the tablet fixes it every time. I also found that while transferring a large file which takes over 30 minutes or so the transfer fails. This appears to be related the WiFi having problems. A reboot fixes the connection again. I've recently done a Windows refresh not keeping personal files to clear up other issues but this WiFi issue is still there. I'm not sure that the 1/21/14 firmware update fixed the WiFi issue.
I have the same SSID for 2.4GHz and 5GHz. Should they be different? The router gave the option of them being the same or different.
