Sounds like your router is too hot. try turning on a fan to blow right on the router. if that doesn't help I suspect a bad router.

SOURCE: frequent disconnects with wrt300n

Ok for starters this wireless technology is still in it's early stages and is being tested while wireless G is still in play. Most of the time if you continue to get kicked off or get no connection at all, this is due to firewall settings. When a device connects to a router of any kind it must send and recieve a signal. Unless you have a static address on your laptop. (an IP address you placed into your wireless adapter setting) Your IP address sometimes changes, it does this when you turn off your computer, log off, etc. Sometimes when reconnecting to your wireless network the IP address changes because it is a dynamic address. A static address never changes. I have found that with some wireless technology devices if a firewall is setup with windows XP the IP address changes thereby not allowing the device to reconnect to the network or be recognized based on the IP change. I have found this alot with wireless printers, external Network storage devices, etc. Sometimes when you take down the firewall your computer will reconnect to the network. Or just go back to the basics: Right click onto the wireless icon at the bottom right near the clock. You should have an option asking you to repair, this helps most of the time.

Most common problems with having be disconnected from your network is when you have a laptop and you use it outside of home on or in another location. Any more questions I have tons of answers. I can also walk you through a network setup!

SOURCE: belkin f5d7132uk keeps disconnecting

have you tried turning off Wireless Zero Configuration

Go to Start | Control Panel | Administrative Tools | Services

Scroll down to Wireless Zero Configuration, right clicking properties, and Stopping the service in Service Status.

Do this on all the Pcs,

If this solves the problem, turn off Wireless Zero Configuration permanently by changing Startup type to Disabled

SOURCE: my zyxel 660 hw works fine for 10 minutes, then starts disconnect

If the same thing is happening with the USB WIFI on the PC. This sounds like a problem with your PC rather than your router. Is your antivirus / spyware scanner up to date? If not up date it and run a full system scan. Also you should check to see if your Firewall is up to date, and that the wireless network you are connecting to is included in the safe zone area of your firewall.

1 more thing if you are using a Thrid party firewall (i.e. Norton, Zone Alarm, McAfee, Etc.) Make sure Windows Firewall is deactivated (in Conntrol Panel) having 2 firewalls on can lead to random problems

Does your connection "drop" on other wireless networks?

Dlink DSL-2640B LAN & Internet keep disconnecting , very random and it's painful

Hello,
There are many reasons why this might be happening.. You could try the following steps..
1) Disconnect the power from router for a minute and reconnect and check. 2) Try changing the wireless channel and Network name and try re-connecting and in change LAN slots at the back of the router. 3) Check if there is an firmware update for your product and update if any update is available. 4) If none of the above steps work you will need to reset and re-config your router. ( For that you need the CD given with the router and you will need the ISP settings.)
Hope this helped

My Linksys WTR 120N evry time is disconnecting from Modem

Hello,

There are many reasons why router would disconnect from the modem.

First connect only modem to the computer and check if your internet disconnects.If it does then contact your ISP..if it doesn't then follow the following steps..

1)Disconnect the power for both modem and router for one minute and re-connect the power and check if it worked.
2)If not..You might need to update the firmware on the router. Log into the manufacturer's web site and download the latest version of the firmware for your model and update it.
3)Even if that doesn't work..You might need to reset and re-configure your router. Press the reset button for 10 mins and disconnect the power for both modem and router for 1 minute and then re-connect the power and run the configuration disk for the router(PS: you require the disk of the router and ISP settings.)

Hope this helped.

I have a HP G70 with an Atheros AR5009 WiFi adapter. I use an Apple Time Machine/Wireless router. My Macs stay connected to the router with no problem. My HP drops multiple times a day. All drivers are...

Hi, did you get this problem resolved? I am having the same issues but cannot seem to find anything to resolve. I have a hp g70 running vista.

Ethernet connection gets disconnected very often

If none of the router jacks give you a solid connection and you maintain one when you directly connect to the modem, it is time to replace the router.
