Replaced Wifi BGW210 boradband gateway disconnects

AT&T recently replaced our home gateway broadband box with a new BGW210 device.

Looks similar to: https://www.att.com/support/article/u-verse-high-speed-internet/KM1212921/

Periodically, the connection from my laptop to the gateway drops (over Wifi). It is evident during video calls and connection on the laptop shows (no internet, connected) and after 5-10 seconds or so, it resumes. I have tried restarts but it is not helping. The disconnects are random. Wondering if anyone has the same issue and how it can be resolved. Thank you.

Thank you Robert.

I have followed your instructions. I restarted the gateway. Everything worked great for 1 day after the reboot. The problem resurfaced again the next day (approximately after 24 hrs). The laptop disconnects from the gateway and reconnects again (3-5 seconds gap). I have updated the laptop drivers. This issue is happening with the replaced gateway unit. My previous unit never had this issue. No other settings have changed. Thank you.

Hi there, @bsardana. Thank you for coming back and letting us know. We do appreciate it. 

 

Since the troubleshooting steps worked for 1 day, but the concern returned the next, there is much more that we can try to do. 

 

Our next step, is to move this conversation to the AT&T Direct Message space. You will see a chat icon, next to a bell icon, in the upper right corner of this thread, next to your Forums profile icon. Our next message will appear there.

 

In the meantime, please gather your account information together. Do not post it publicly. We will ask for it in the Direct Message space.

 

Looking forward to working with you to get your internet service resolved.

As part of the next steps, a new router is being shipped to eliminate if the existing one is faulty. I will update this thread as we make progress. Thank you.
