I wish he would drop the name of the router he's running into these issues on. I have the same exact issue with my laptop (random disconnects for 30 seconds) only on my home router, and I've been considering replacing the router with something of higher quality.
I use an ASUS 750N, which is starting to show its age faster than I expected, but otherwise services the devices in my house just fine. Except for my laptop, which is the only device I actually need to use over wifi on a regular basis.
- givinguflac 10y agoI don't think the model is 750N, more likely that's the max speed. Probably you have the 56u or 66u. The Merlin firmware for Asus routers has really improved my experience with the ac-87u. It keeps the stock UI and fixes bugs/adds features. https://asuswrt.lostrealm.ca https://asuswrt.lostrealm.ca
- zeta0134 10y agoYou're quite correct, the 750N was from memory. The actual model is an RT-N65R. That firmware looks lovely! I will give that a whirl when I have time to dink around with it, possibly this weekend. Thanks for that!

- mieko 10y agoasuswrt-merlin is awesome. I replaced my ISP's shitty combo router with a barebones TP-Link DSL modem and an Asus AC5300 (which physically looks ridiculous) running asuswrt-merlin. It turned one of the more annoying parts of my day into, eh, nothing. It just works flawlessly for months on end.
