Every now and then my browser stops working, wont load pages and i get the message connection timed out. I have to switch the tablet off and on again and we are ok . It seems to happen every 15 mins or so

Tabs and Android phones can get a bit funny with wifi connection sometimes and the best cure is to use the “Forget This Network” option in the wifi menu on your tab or phone then do a scan of available wifi networks and reselect your network and input the password again.

This fix works most of the time (unless it's a browser problem) and I did this procedure with one of my phones a few weeks ago because for some untold reason it was connecting to my home network but saying “connection with no internet” but the forget this network trick fixed it.

Never once had an issue with my variety of tablets and android phones on wifi. In fact i often use them to check if they are still connected if my laptop keeps disconnecting which it often does.

Well I did say “sometimes” and with that I mean could be once a month, once a year or every time the blue moon comes out.

I might have the odd hiccup once a year but with 15 plus devices connected 24/7 and as many devices coming and going you can expect that once and awhile.
