Once again, thanks. I had already tried 1) changed to WPA with no change, and also dared change it to no encryption, was still dropping after 5-7 minutes.Last few tips I can think to try out (more like stab-in-the-dark):
1) Change authentication method on the your router. Try a less computation-intensive encryption. Read about their pros/cons before testing.
2) If these settings are accessible on the your router; try playing with DTIM interval, WMM and/or MU-MIMO. Default always works for me but, on-paper, these settings can affect wifi connection power levels and sleep states.
Be careful with these changes as they can/will royally mess up your entire wifi system.
3) Lastly, as a final resort. I would buy a used/cheap Access Point, or a router that can be configured as an AP. Hang the AP off your existing router and set the AP to solely talk to the SR25. I think this would have the highest chance of bypassing the wifi problem you are having with SR25.
2) I do not dare to try and I actually do not think that the hub provides me with the option (thankfully ) - used to do that a lot some years ago when things were less sophisticated . Agree with you that SR25 should not be asking for a different configuration, default works for every single device I have connected - would make no sense and would mean the SR25 would be to blame for not accepting the default for these variables.
I had not tried 3) before, so went for it, but, once again no change - actually it starts dropping after 4 minutes . I have an Apple Airport Extreme that I have configured as an Access Point. Disabled 5GHz, maintained only 2.4 GHz and allowed WPA encryption. SR25 is the only wireless device connected to it.
Thanks fo all your help.
