My computer just started doing this and I have no idea why, Where I live my roommates and I have a Netgear Dualband Wireless router.. its a 2.4Ghz G and a 5Ghz N. Well it was working perfectly till yesterday.. I'm the only other person in the house that has a dualband wi-fi adapter so I connect to the 5Ghz N band while my 3 other roommates connect to the 2.4Ghz G band. Well yesterday it started jumping back and forth between connections it will stay connected to the N band for about 5 to 10 minutes then disconnects for no reason the connects to the G band.. then repeats the process over and over.. Well the network was unsecured till I added a password and configured the firewall in the router but these problems started before I did that.. I just did that today thinking it would fix the problem. I thought other people might of been highjacking our wi-fi and kicking us off or something.. I hope this makes sense to yall.. Please help me figure this out.. I've only lived here a month and when I moved in they had all there computers and router and modem set-up where it had the worst reception.. when its supposed to have a 300 ft range thru walls.. my roommate beside me and I were not able to connect at all untill I moved it around and now we all get excellent reception.. Well please help me figure this out.. I'm sorry i was rambling.. well thanks in advance..
Oh Yeah I forgot.. Even though my roommates don't have dualband adapters they are still getting kicked off the 2.4Ghz G band and it will reconnect every few minutes just like me and repeat the process like mine...
