I had a Linksys router, an older one, with a very similar problem, and I never did figure out what the problem was.

I upgraded to this wireless n router, and it works FLIPPING GREAT.

It would help if you had a second computer to diagnose the problem. At least, try plugging the laptop into the router with an ethernet cable.

If the router seems to reset itself periodically (you will get a "A network cable is unplugged" or "Network connection lost" error), the reason is because your ISP's performance exceeds the design capacity of the router. Netgears are notorious for this, and to a slightly lesser extent, so are Linksys. Both my Netgears (a wired FVS-318v2 and a wireless MR814) worked fine, initially. However, as my cable company upgraded network speeds incrementally, the routers started failing, usually self-resetting (Linksys' just crash randomly, requiring a reboot of the router). The FVS-318v2 was designed for a max WAN speed of 3.0 Mbps while the MR814 appeared to max out at 4.0.

This is why I stick with D-Link. Mine is two years old and is rated for a 15 Mbps WAN speed.

-Do you believe you own your computer and shouldn't be told what you can run and do? Then say *NO* to Microsoft Vista!
-Since half the questions here involve media problems, here ya go: Only use Verbatim or Taiyo-Yuden discs (get your TYs from Rima.com, not Supermediastore or meritline). Forget the rest, no matter what "brand" they sell under. Always burn at 4x speed regardless of the speed rating of this discs or your drive. If you have burn problems with these then you have to update your drive's firmware. For double-layer discs, only use Verbatim DVD+R DL and burn them at 2.4x speed.
