I've got a problem with the wireless dropping out randomly. It may take a week before it stops or a couple of hours. I originally thought my microwave oven was swamping the signal when we used it so I relocated the router much further away but this hasn't changed anything. I can still log in to the router from a computer on the wired ports and reboot the router. It also thinks the wireless is working but everything looses connection to it. We have 3 laptops and 4 phones that use the wireless and they all cannot connect when it goes down. This is only a new device - less than 6 months - and I'm wondering if I have a warranty issue.

Maybe you can change the wireless channel on the router or upgrade the firmware of this unit:)

Please try to configure your wireless - My LINK - sorry this is polish language but I think that you will understand images.

My firmware is already up to date. I've tried changing channels several times. I even got a bit of software that checks what channels are in use in the area and their signal strengths - great bit of free software - but no use. My son just rebooted it for the second time this week.

Thanks for the link. I did follow the images and now testing the changes. I'll let you know if successful.

Did you try changing the Channel Width to 20MHz (Max Tx Rate will drop to 130Mbps), for me this is the only way that the wireless will stay connected.
