I've recently upgraded my router from a BT HomeHub 4 to a TP-Link TL-WDR3600 (specs)and my 1010S doesn't seem to like it.
I can connect to it fine initially at a healthy 300mbps, but when I try to access any on demand content the WiFi drops every time without fail a few minutes into the video. I am then unable to reconnect to the WiFi until I've rebooted the freesat box. Attempting to reconnect without rebooting gives me the message: 'wifi network does not detected'.
Any help much appreciated.

I have the 4300 (much the same). Have you enabled both frequencies with different names (I have). I would expect the HDR-1010S only to see the 2.4GHz channels - is this so (I would recommend the mixed mode on this frequency)?
What are you using as a modem - the homehub ?? Have you disabled the wireless functions on it?
Sorry I should have said, that was the first thing I tried. It did actually pick up both frequencies, but both had the same issue.
I'm using the openreach modem which BT installed when I switched to fibre.

What sort of location are you in rural or urban/city - if the latter I would scan for local channel use (lots of mobile phone apps out there) - Perhaps you need to choose a channel.
What distance is the router from the HDR-1010S and how many walls, of what material, does the signal need to pass through?
I also have a TL-WDR3600 and I am also having this problem with my 1010s. (I bought it graded direct from Humax this week)
I'm afraid that I was unable to get it working and have had to revert to the Homehub.
Thanks to REPASSAC for your advice though.
