How to Fix Intermittent Issue with Netgear WiFi?

These days a heavy number of users experiencing intermittent WiFi connection issue with their Netgear routers. This can occur because of a variety of reasons ranging from poor signal to equipment failure. Therefore, here we have come up with some methods to prevent your network from dropping and coming back regularly while you are accessing the Netgear router login page.

Solutions to Fix Intermittent Issue

1. Avoid WiFi Interference

Objects like refrigerators, microwaves, Bluetooth speakers, cordless phones, and other smart home appliances that use radio signals for transmission can cause interference in your WiFi signals. Therefore, we suggest not placing your Netgear router close to these objects to get rid of the issue.

2. Check Your Internet Availability

If your Internet is not working up to the mark, then run a speed test of the internet on another WiFi-enabled device. This will help you verify the fault if it’s in your WiFi-enabled device or with your network. Sometimes, an Internet issue occurs from the back-end, i.e, from the end of your ISP . If that’s the case, then contact your ISP  to fix the issue.

3. Avoid Overcrowded Network

Another thing you can do to fix the WiFi intermittent issue is  disconnecting the devices from your Netgear network which are not in use. If  multiple WiFi-enabled devices are connected to the network of your Netgear router, then it will not work efficiently.

4. Check Your Connection

You need to make sure that the internet devices you are using are well connected. Sometimes, losing connection can create dropping of your WiFi network. Additionally, if you are using a physical connection, then check your Ethernet cable as it should be free from any wear or tear else, change it with the new one. For proper working with a wireless connection, place your WiFi-enabled devices within the range of your Netgear router.

Important Note: We suggest users prefer a wired connection while attempting to access the Netgear Nighthawk router login page to avoid network lose.
