1 edit | Someone here did suggest trying to change the lease time in the SE567 just a few days ago to try to correct the wireless from dropping out. The lease time is more or less the time it takes for the wireless routers to force a security key renewal, which can take sometimes a minute with some adapters. May I also point out, if you have other wireless networks around you, you can try changing the wireless channel the SE567 is on. If you have any cordless phones, you should try to keep them farther away from the PCs/router as well.
Wireless is a tricky thing to troubleshoot, so do the second and third suggestions first before mucking around with the wireless key lease renewal setting. To log into the SE567, go to »192.168.254.254 with the username and password of admin/admin respectively. From there, just click Home Network and you can change any setting you want. Here is the post where this was brought up. »Re: Siemens Gigase567

Hello,
I had the same problem 2 weeks ago with the wireless dropping. Had them change the modem and it works just fine now. |
