I downloaded the firmware. I work on a computer that is wired with cable. I entered http://192.168.0.1 in the browser but got time out.Did you update the routers firmware?

You're right on. The gateway is actually 192.168.1.1First you should check if your router actually uses this IP-adress for management..
I have run into routers that uses 192.168.1.1, 192.168.2.1, 192.168.10.1 etc. (I have not seen anyone mention WHAT router you have..)
So if your computer has access to the internet.. click the magnifying glass next to your start-button, type CMD press enter..
In that new window, type: ipconfig /all press enter
Search for "default gateway" and type that adress into your browser.. (Unless the default gateway actually is 192.168.0.1)
(Note! your settings for DHCP Server and DNS servers should have the same IP-adress as your default gateway adress for your router to work properly.. so if they all are the same, it´s OK)
NOTE! I´m not saying that http://192.168.0.1 is wrong adress, I just like to check if it is or not! OK!
If its your isp's modem, you won't be able to update it.You're right on. The gateway is actually 192.168.1.1
But when I got in there, it took me to my ISP (optimum)'s configuration screen where I can change the network name and password. There is no place to update the firmware.
If it's a rented modem (or otherwise still belongs to your ISP) it's very likely that they update the firmware remotely from time to time.If its your isp's modem, you won't be able to update it.

Just an update.
I have the router swapped out (exchanged from ISP) and seems to correct the issue.
2.4GHz has better range but more prone to interference from devices and congested wavelengths. 5GHz has much less interference but gets physically knocked down easier by walls and doesn't propagate as far. 5GHz is ideal if you're within range and has theoretically faster speeds.Not that I'm an expert on this, but I've worked on w-ifi router issues at home. You might change the frequency you are on (usually 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz). One usually works better with laptops, but I can't remember which one at the moment. I would certainly not rule out interference from other devices.
