    Networked devices randomly disappearing from Home Network?

    This is probably a n00b question but I figured I would ask anyways. I have an Asus rt-n56u powering my home network. I have a bunch of wired & wireless devices attached to it (multiple PC's, a Macbook, smartphones, tablets, gaming consoles, etc.). I also have an 8-port Trendnet Gigabit switch...

    Asus RT-N56U Reviewed

    Buyer Beware: "WAN was exceptionally disconnected." Like many others (on Amazon, Asus' site, etc.), I am experiencing the "WAN was exceptionally disconnected." It is a shame because the router is awesome when it actually works. My question is: has anyone found a fix? Background: The...
