Help Home Wifi Dislikes My Droid

[Socialtopia]

As far back as I can remember my phone has been reliable and consistent with network connection wherever I go, until I come home and connect to wifi. It will remember my network, connect with no problem and allow me to conduct business for about ten minutes, and then speed seems to drop to 0.

What's odd is the wifi symbol will remain blue, I will receive texts/notifications, but certain apps will stop loading and trying to load any new webpages is all but impossible. Turning wifi off and back on will solve the problem for about ten minutes before it starts this pattern again.

I have a feeling my router is the problem here because I don't seem to have these issues when using other sources of wifi (parents' place, public wifi, etc.)

Anyone else experience this, or is there anything I can change in my router settings to fix this problem?

Here is what I am working with for both phone and router for reference:

Phone

- Motorola DROID RAZR MAXX

- Android Version 4.1.2

- System Version 98.72.165.XT912.Verizon.en.US


Router

- Linksys EA3500

- Firmware Version 1.1.39.145204

- WPA2 Personal

- Wifi Protected Setup Disabled

- Wireless-N Only

- Channel 6

- IPv4 Firewall Disabled


If more information is needed I'll be glad to provide it. I just really want to figure this out so I can stop resetting things whenever I come home. Thanks!

Only thing i can think of is if the router is only puting out a 5Ghz signal? Which Razr doesnt support

Right, and we do have a separate 5gHz network from this dual-band router, which my phone doesn't list so I figured it was 2.4gHz only.

But my computer and other devices can use the 2.4 network consistently so it couldn't be the 5gHz connection, right?

No, I would actually attempt resetting the router or check for updates on it

It is set to automatically check for updates and we reset it every five days or so because it will just go berzerk and reset itself otherwise.

Forgot to mention to also check your wifi settings on your android device. Make sure nothing automatically kicks u off
