We have a Trendnet router that is fails everyday around 4pm after being on all day. We are in an air conditioned office so the router doesn't get that hot. Usually around 4 to 4:30pm the computers (about 4 to 5 at any given time) start showing a that they have been disconnected from the network. It is usually only for about 1 to 30 seconds. It happens anywhere from 2 or 3 times to non stop until we shut it off for the night and then it starts all over the next day working fine all day until about 4pm. Like I said it doesn't get hot so I can't see it being an over heating issue. The router is only 6 months old. Any ideas? Thanks.

Is the router actually powering down or just disconnecting?

Does it do it just for the wireless connection or does it do the same thing for any directly wired ones, too?

The router disconects all the computers both LAN and WAN computers. The router lights never shut off and it is connected to a UPS. Some computers reconnect pretty quickly and others have to reset their wireless connection for it to come back. That though I assume is an issue for each computer and not the router. Thanks for whatever help you can give me.

I put a different post about our router being only a few inches behind a CRT screen. A computer techi here thought that could be the problem that waves off of the screen could have damaged the router. Weird that it would work all day just fine and then start goofing up. Thanks

I just don't buy that...if it is happening on a very regular schedule, I doubt that it is the CRT being the source of the problem.

As to interference causing it, that I can buy...but the question is, what is coming on at that time that is causing the problem?

The first thing I would suggest is to change the channel on the wireless side of things...if it is on channel 6, move it down to channel 2 or 4...or up to 10. If it is on 7, 3 or 9.

The next, if practical, relocate the device...somewhere other than behind the CRT, would be a good start (even though I don't think the CRT is your problem, being tucked behind it isn't helping signal strength any).

Also, you can't discount the 'neighbors'...how close is the router to the outside wall/neighboring office/business/whatever?
