This is a refurbished router I bought about a year ago and I finally get around to testing it.
I have it configured as an access point but the problem I keep getting is the connection disconnects randomly after a few hours. I have this connected up to my main router (RT-N66U) which has been solid for years. I can't figure out the reason why the C1900 is losing connection randomly. I thought at first it was because my other machine was a linux box but my windows 10 machine has the same issue. I've looked at the lease configuration on the main router and I have never touched the setting on that before.
Short of just switching the 2 routers around and then testing it that way for awhile I'm not sure what else I can do to test the Access Point disconnecting problem.
Ok I finally went through all the configuration pages, and found that I had accidentally (still no idea how) setup the auto reboot every 3600 seconds! Doh!

The wiki builds are the ones for first flash.
After that you should update to a recent build, 44715 seems fine but always look in the build threads.
See the forum guide lines where how and what to download
