Gail's reply does not make sense to me. I used a router (SMC 3605T) excellently for over 3 years, and some weeks ago it suddently started buzzing intermittently- NEVER had a problem w. connectivity. Over the past weekend I went out and bought the Netgear. Soon after it started doing the same thing. Called Netgear, and they told me to change to another power plug - only. Really deep.

No. Like someone else said, you have either a cabling issue or a nearby device is causing interference.

I had lag issues with my old router, with the Netgear Nighthawk I have no gamin lag issues. I own the XBOX 360 (Wired) and the XBOX One (Wireless) and I have not experienced any issues with either of the gaming machine.

Might just be your router. Try using a new or different one to see if that solves your problem.

I am getting the same thing. It is a buzzing/loud humming noise. Anybody know if this is a defect or if something else can be creating this?

While I haven't used either I can tell you two of my past three Netgear routers have died on me. For that reason alone I am choosing Linksys over Netgear this time.

A replacement cable may be needed; make sure it's balanced otherwise you'll keep getting a humming or buzzing. Best suggestion I have, always a good place to start though.

Mine started with a high pitched buzzing noise and now after 4 months the motor is not running right and mist output is low. I am having it replaced as I like the features. If I get one that works and does not make the noise, I will be very happy! :)

I bought two about 5 months ago and have not had any problems. Perhaps the problem is with your router.

I returned it and went with the new Netgear. I had issues with that model I couldn't seem to correct

I don't know, I just hooked it up and everything worked, router might be bad, I have a netgear router, very happy with it.

Dear SB Leo,I never do anything to my router so where do I find this disconnect in so many minutes on the router, or is it on the computer, if so where? I do not mind leaving my laptop on , and it goes to idle after a few minutes anywayThanks so much for your help. LaRaine

I have had mine for about 8 months and have not had any problems, check your router settings and also if it continues you should call the Asus help line.

did you do the step to check the signal between the router and the repeater? That needs to be good. Also, what did you name it --- the book says name it different than the router (but pass through security). I notice sometimes with my Netgear it seems like it takes forever to connect --- other times it connects quickly. I'm leaning towards what the other reviewers say --- move the router so not to need the repeater. Previously I had a LinkSys repeater, it worked about the same, just ok at best.

I am not networking guru. I had it for 1 week until I throwed it away. Mine was useless.In repeating mode it was loosing signal 10+ times a day. As main router worked better, but still had to reset almost daily.

Did you adjust your wifi settings to the netgear 'extender'? Mine is a refurbish but it works excellent!!!

Same here. Worked great for a while then started with buzz/static that makes it unbearable to use.
