DR500GW - after ~ 30 minutes unable to associate to access point at range

[JonathanM]

Hi Everyone,

Having a strange issue with my DR500GW.

Everything works as expected when the unit is turned on. You can associate to the access point from a distance ~10 meters.
After ~ 30 minutes the unit stops allowing clients to associate until you come within ~ 2 meters of the unit.
However if you associate to the unit then move ~ 10 meters away, your connection is still maintained and works flawlessly (still full speed).

So far I have ruled out:
* the wireless device (two mobiles & 4 wireless usb sticks).
* heat (could be a factor - although cooling the device doesn't fix the issue once it's occured - have yet to see if keeping the device cool stops the problem from occurring).
* firmware (tried the latest 1.09e and 1.1.1ae custom).

Any help on this problem is appreciated.

I believe, starting with 1.009 Parking Mode turns off Wifi. No option to keep it on in Parking Mode. Perhaps you are losing your connection when in Parking Mode kicks in.
