I am having a problem that a lot of users seem to have - my wifi connection keeps disconnecting every couple of minutes and asking for me to authenticate it (by opening a windows and if I am away it will open 10-20 of the same authentication window). I have it set to auto-connect so I have no clue why it does this and after trying some solutions from the forum (such as having it as the only remembered connection) I still haven't managed to fix anything.
However, even if I click 'connect' on the authenticate window usually the connection becomes unstable so I have to turn off the wireless and turn it back on every time. I have to do this every 2-10 minutes and it is very annoying.
We recently switched the router at home but other devices don't seem to have it as bad. The main difference is that the router works both in 2.4 ghz and 5 ghz while (I believe) the older one broadcasted only in 2.4.
