Re: [Speed Issues] Why does my wireless keep losing connection w

First you should determine if you are loosing all Internet or if it is just the wireless. Do you have any wired devices? Check those too. Also, check the channel you are using. You may be in a busy area. Change the channel to a clear one. I like to use Wye Eye on my phone to determine what is being used in my area. If you can use the 5 ghz band you may find it to be a bit less contested. If all you can is the 2.4 ghz then try to minimize interference. Some cordless phones use the same band and can mess up a wifi signal. Your microwave oven uses the 2.4 ghz too. If your router is in close proximity to any of the above, move it as far away as possible.

Thanks for you help. Charters technician and I have done several of these with no change, but there is one you mentioned that I didn't check I'm going to do that now.
Thanks!!
