Gemini Air Losing Internet
I know it's an oft discussed topic but most of the posts are older. My Gemini Air will drop the wifi a couple times per day. It would seem simpler to use a wired (ethernet) connection but curious if there are any updates?

There are several reasons why your device might be losing its internet connection like network bandwidth fluctuation, @dsherburn. Try restarting both your device and router to refresh the connection.

try the 2.4GHz if you're on 5GHz... one of those for sure works better.... 5GHz gives you less issues when you're in congested networks

Gemini Air is the dongle version which is WiFi-only. If you want wired than you need the standard Gemini which has both wired and WiFi as options.
Though the Gemini's Ethernet port is 10/100 not 10/100/1000

You could try Wal-Mart for the Gemini C71KW. There is also eBay, but I caution on that as requires prior owner to have removed it from their account otherwise it would be bricked for you.
And avoid if it only lists it as Osprey. That is the old name back when that box was under AT&T and if not connected to internet at the right time it is missing a critical update to function since they changed the address it connects to.
