Question posted by mthomp7025 on November 6th, 2015

Keeps Loosing Connection?

I have one connected to router in basement and one connected to camera system on different level. It worked for a long time...now It keeps disconnecting for some reason...then will connect again by itself. I thought one went bad so I replaced but I am still having issues. It is not that the settings are wrong because it does work at times.

I Know the Answer!

1. Check 652BRP wireless settings and make sure "SSID (wireless network name) broadcast" is enabled.

2. Set 652BRP's wireless encryption type to "WPA2-PSK", this is currently the encryption with highest security measure for home users without RADIUS server.

3. Change wireless channel to 1, 6 or 11. You may want to download a free software called "inSSIDer", run it and see neighboring wireless routers' channel and signal strength and avoid using channel that your neighbors are using.

If above do not help then find out your 652BRP's hardware and firmware verison, check trendnet.com support/download page and see if you have the latest firmware. If not, download the firmware, unzip it and then upgrade it. After the firmware upgrade, you may want to reset the 652BRP to factory default and reconfigure it.

Trendnet has a free technical support hotline. call them up, if necessary.
