It’s been two months that i have been using a brand new unit of Edimax Wi-fi Router as a replacement of my original unit which had intermittent connection. Read here my original post: http://wp.me/p8C1e-1mz
However, instead of providing me the exact model of the unit (BR 6226) another model was given to me. It’s the BR 6225n with a single radio unit. The BR 6226 is deemed to have more power considering it has two radio amplifiers on it.

In an online chat lately, an Edimax Phil. representative told me that the BR 6226 has been phased out. I was convinced that the replacement unit–BR 6225n has the same firmware with BR 2662.
But i am still not satisfied and even disappointed of the performance of the brand new unit. I am still suffering as i am still experiencing intermittent connection on my laptop. My laptop is in my room and is connected via LAN cable.
I have to reset the Edimax WiFi Router every time i lost connection. It’s so annoying and frustrating. Maybe, i will settle for another well-known brand of WiFi routers soon.
Hi-Tech 'Ta Bai 
Having the same prob with my 6225n, even upgraded my firmware (which is v1.14, downloaded via edimax website). It seems to occur only on wi-fi connection because my desktop has a stable connection. I need to manually powercycle the modem to be able to use the wi-fi. Can you help me configure it? It’s quite old, so im thinking of replacing it. Thanks 😀

My Edimax Wifi is dead. When i opened it the Integrated Circuit for its radio was heating up-an indication that it’s already beyond repair. In your case, it’s not the configuration is the problem since you can connect after rebooting the router. It’s already configured. It’s the router itself that has a problem.

Ok, I guess mine’s dead too. Next question is, which router did you get?
Do you have any suggestions? I plan to stay on the same price range. Thanks 😀

there could be many factors affecting your router’s intermittent connection
try bypassing your router and directly connect your computer to your modem if it’s still the same then it’s a problem with your ISP or the modem
you can also try changing the ethernet cables from your modem to the router and router to the computer because that maybe the cause of the intermittent connection
also try accessing the router’s settings and look for a field like max idle time, and set it to a higher number of minutes or seconds
and test the connection with your firewall or antivirus software disabled

it could also be a problem with your NIC

Thanks for the advice. I’d done all diagnostic tests and it points to the router. Another Edimax router user also experiencing the same intermittent connection problem. There maybe a flaw in the unit itself or a design flaw for Edimax routers.
