I have to constantly click the signal button so that download speed won't go to zero

[jtljbk]

Hello:





When I click on one of my router names with airport extreme I have to keep on clicking the signal button on the top right so that the speed won't drop to zero and the webpages and downloads don't hang or stop loading. This particular linksys router is the only one with this problem as the other linksys routers and any other brands I've connected to do not have this problem. The signal level is always full and never blinks or get disconnected unless of course forced to. I don't really know but it sort of seems like it is not waiting at all for this router when it is suppose to. Help is very much appreciated.

What? Clicking the WiFi icon doesn't actually do anything from a network perspective.

When I click on the signal button the speed won't drop down and the web pages and downloads won't take so long or not load at all. If I dont click on it they will end up like that in less than a minute. Any help would be much appreciated.

Why do you want your download speed to drop to zero? Most people want it as high as possible.

That is why the OP is supposedly clicking the WiFi (AirPort) icon in the Menu Bar, as s/he stated in the quote you quoted.

OP: What about resetting that particular router?
