Problem- SSID is ON and OFF in Cisco 892W-AGN

aakashojha · ‎12-26-2012

Hi team,

I have a strange error in Cisco CISCO892W-AGN-E-K9 that i bought for our clients a month back.

- the router doesn't display the SSID for a longer period. Its like on and off of the SSID, showing sometimes and sometimes blank for the same device (Laptop/ Mobile/ or other Wireless Devices) within the range.

The router is in my office, but sometimes my laptop is connected, and sometimes it does not connect, and it is same with my other friends laptop.

Is it a problem with the device, configuration or the IOS issues?

Please help.
