Hi guys, Bought a Netgear D500 N150 ADSL router from amazon. And after 1 week it starts giving problem. I am getting frequent disconnection on WiFi but working fine on desktop using lan cable. Even after restart also it doesn't work sometime.

I have updated to latest version of firmware also. I am using BSNL broadband. Kindly tell me how to solve this issue ?

Thank you

It may be a hardware issue too.Try using WEP encryption in wifi security--password settings.Note it is just for testing if router's cpu is unable to handle the processing load of standard & recommended WPA2 encryption.Even if it works one should not use such a device incapable of handling WPA2.If with WEP same issue is there then most likely it is either hardware or firmware issue. You can also try wifi signal antenna strength setting etc.

Still facing the issue, I read somewhere that its happening because of cordless phone interference. What is the solution now ?

Cordless phone works on 2.4GHz so it can interfere but never seen a case of such strong interference before,try turning phone off to see if it helps.

Never bought any tenda product so no idea.What is your budget for router?If you can spend ~4.5k then asus ac58u is the best option.Also it is better to use wired adsl modem+wifi router compared to using an adsl wifi router.I would have recommend tplink w8968 if your budget was ~2k only as it is an adsl wifi router but seems like it is not available at this price online or available from new/low rated sellers on amazon.

Then this is the only option,do keep in mind that if you decide to take a cable broadband connection(like sify,hathway etc) then it won't work with them(at least not in an usual manner).

You can check to see if new firmware is available & update it yourself.I have no idea about digisol as I don't use or recommend new/generic/small brands when it comes to modems & routers.
