Netgear EX7000 Dropping Connection
Unreachable network range and power
- Your wireless network will reach only up to a certain limit. If you try to access the network on the range limit’s outer edge, then the connection begins to drop. Most probably, the connection stops if you are accessing the network far away from the range limit.
Wi-Fi radio interference
- Radio interference from objects like cordless phones, Bluetooth devices, garage door openers, and microwave ovens can interfere with the network signal.
- Turn off these interference objects when you access the network.
- It is better to move these objects away from the Netgear EX7000 router.
Overloaded network
- If multiple devices are connected to the same wireless network, then the bandwidth will be limited.
- To avoid this Netgear EX7000 dropping connection issue on your device, disconnect the remaining devices from the network.
