REGION: All

ISSUE: Causes for the wireless client to lose connection with the wireless router.

CAUSE: Auto Channel setting.

PLATFORM(S): Buffalo Wireless Technologies

SOLUTION: Set a specific channel for wireless instead of using Auto channel. The Auto channel will change the wireless channel automatically to avoid interference. Occasionally, if the interference is equal on all channels, it will cycle through them constantly.

To change this:

1. Log into the router's Web Interface and navigate to Advanced->LAN Settings->Wireless.

2. Disable Auto Channel and set the channel to a specific one. Begin with channel 11 and if the problem continues, try decreasing channels by intervals of two until a strong signal is acquired. Apply the setting after each change to test it.
