So, below we have steps to fix dropping wireless connection error in Linksys routers.

Steps to fix dropping wireless connection error in Linksys routers

Step 1: Manage the MTU size

The Maximum Transmission Unit originally specifies about the largest packet size which is permitted for Internet transmission.  Determining a proper MTU size is essential to get the most efficient throughput for the networking task.

Step 2: Reduce the interference of wireless routers

If users are experiencing frequent disconnection problem then, do ensure to perform a proper check on following matters for disruption of wireless signals:

The router may be working on the same frequency as a cordless telephone system or other such devices.  So, here one needs to change the router’s channel to 1 or 11 because these are considered non-overlapping channels and will avoid interference problems.  After you have changed the respective channel, restart the wireless computers.

1. Physical obstructions – Your router or wireless computers may be losing connectivity because of physical obstacles such as walls and floors.  Try to move the computers to a different location to find a better signal.  The most ideal location would at the central part of your house.
2. An appropriate placement of the router – It is recommended by Linksys Remote Support technical experts to place the router as high off the ground as much as possible.  While placing the router in a high location, make sure that you have maintained enough distance of approximately 2 feet between the router antenna tips, ceiling and the wall.  If the signal is passing easily through multiple floors then, place the router on the upper-most floor and high up in the room. While working with the wireless device, try to avoid moving closer than 18 inches from the router. This is suggested for your safety purposes as this 18-inch radius around the router is considered a wireless dead zone. So, beware of it
3. Surroundings –Keep your router device away from large metal objects as well as areas where there may be a large concentration of water for safety purposes.

1. d) Customization of the wireless settings of the router: Having default wireless settings on the Linksys router may certainly lead to conflict with other Linksys routers within the network range.  So, it is suggested to change the wireless network name (SSID) of the router as well as enable its wireless security completely.
