Help Wifi connection problems ZTE warp 4g

Is anyone else having problems connecting to their home router? I have a dlink N150 router. My old samsung transform ultra had no issues connecting to it. all our other devices work fine on it.
When I first set up the Warp it saw my router and connected just fine. Then later that evening it disconnected and said router wasn't in range. I rebooted-no success. Reset the phone-no success. Used the discovery mode for the router & phone-no success. I saw in another forum to get from google play wifi fixer. I tried that and it didn't seem to do much. Finally after fiddling around with doing the following: shutting on & off the wifi, trying to connect to the neighbors router, and "forgetting " the connection and re-entering the info, it finally finds the router and connects. It stays that way until I leave home. I come back and the same issue arose "dlink not in range".
Over the course of a few days I tested it out on other networks. It seems to find other routers and connect fine, although sluggishly it seems. Can there be compatibility issues? Or do I have a buggy phone and should exchange it?
Seems like I shouldn't have to go through this trouble every time I come home. shutting off & on the wifi doesn't always work and its a big hassle to get it connected.
Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Could hae somethi.g to do with "wifi connection optimizer" in the settings menu. That is what that program is suppossed to prevent from occurring.

Thanks for the suggestion. I turned that feature on & off with no success.

A friend told me that some of the newer phones have trouble with g router signals. Even though my dlink said it did b/g/n I wonder if it was really broadcasting n. I bought a netgear router yesterday and I'm connecting no problem. I turned my wifi on & off to test it and sure enough it connected everytime.

Update 12/16/2013: The phone started to freeze so I exchanged it for a new one. Hoping the wifi troubles were also a glitch and that I could take back the Netgear router. The new phone is having trouble locking on to the dlink router but it will eventually. Its' just very sluggish finding the signal. So for some reason this phone doesn't like the Dlink routers. With netgear there's no problems.
