[QUOTE="bobtomay, post: 1562170, member: 24160"] Question would be: Are you losing the wifi connection or are you losing the internet connection? They are not the same thing. You can lose the internet connection and still have the wifi network working just as it should. In either case - resetting the modem/router - unplugging it from power for 30 seconds, may well take care of it. If you're talking about an intermittent internet connection - the problem is more than likely outside your control and it's time to call the ISP. They can try a reset from their side. If it is the actual wi-fi signal that has become intermittent - after making sure it is not my computer with the problem - personally, I replace the modem/router at that point rather than spend time trying to fix a hardware problem I'm not going to solve. Don't see that an extender is going to help solve either issue. An extender is just going to assist in extending the network into dead areas of the house where the existing signal doesn't go when it is working properly. [/QUOTE]
