I had the exact same problem with Linksys router. I finally just got so sick and tired of all the droped connections I went and purchased a Belkin Pre-N instead and have not had one drop since. \n\nI am not telling you to change your router, just what I decided to do. You need to decide for yourself what to do about this situation. I do suggest however you contact Linksys and ask what is up. I tried this but did not get far with them. They have this help section which while seems to have extensive assistance, it also showed me how many are having many different types of problems with this manufacturers products. It was a deciding factor in researching different manufacturers. \n\nGood luck in deciding what you need to do.

You might have changed some configurations on the wireless route.  IIt was hard to determine what you did wrong.  I recommend you to reset your wireless route and set-up again.\n\nFind on the back of your route a small hole, "reset". Use small object press this hole for a moment while the power on.  After some second, it will be resetted.

Your router may have locked up.\nTry unplugging the power to your router for 10 seconds and pluggin it back in. That usually cures that problem.\nIf that doesn't resolve it try do the same thing to your cable/DSL modem and try again.\nIf that fails contact your ISP to see if they are having problems. If your service is working correctly contact the technical support of your router.\nIf that doesn't work reinstall your USB wiresless adapter.

What is the brand make of the router, if its D-Link you are prone to it. If not please give additional details on what happens.

I have been using a D-LINK dl-524. Works like a charm. I have had it for about a year and its still working. I have never had to reset it or disconnect it or anything like that. I would also recommend a linksys w-router. Doesnt matter which, they all thend to be good.\n D-LInk is a lil cheaper though.\n\nGood Luck

You need to reset the router to its default configuration... and you'll have to consult Linksys for that, http://www.linksys.com/servlet/Satellite?c=L_Content_C1&childpagename=US%2FLayout&cid=1114037290855&pagename=Linksys%2FCommon%2FVisitorWrapper\n\nAnd after you have reset it, you will have to configure it for your connection, you know, allow it to detect the IP, DHCP and all that good stuff...

if the modem has broken you can,t fix it\nbecause all the internal circuits also get broken\nand you can set up the wireless connection by seing the manual\nor ask your  vendor

Just reset the router. That will reset the WEP key.

There are various ways of setting up security on routers, you can change the default password for login, disable the broadcast of the SSID, setup various wireless security, Linksys has very good tech support so call them for assistance or check out their knowledge base as well

The only problem I have had with my linksys router, is that every so often it kicks my IP address, and I have to unplug it for a few minuets, then plug it in again and it works fine. I also had to move it clear away from my comcast modem because they were to close. which was causing me to lose my Ip even more often. Now it only happens once in awhile.

that's a common problem with the linksys. \n\nThey actually have tips for setting up your wireless and positioning the router. \n\nThe best place to put it is in the center of the room.  That's the problem with having a router & wifi in one. can move it far from the modem.\n\nI live on top of a 5 storey building.  and when I go around inspecting things I bring my laptop or pocket pc with me. so getting access was a real problem for me. Now I even have wifi down on the garage. and up to the next block. \n\nI actually bought another (cheap) access point and wired it to the farthest point of my house. and it works. Add that access point to the preffered list that your computer will connect to. \n\nThose $50 antennas dont work. \n\nOh yes the limit of the catv cable to the next hub or access point  is 100 meters dont forget.\n\nCiao

There isn't quite enough information to accurately answer your question, but my best guess is that you're not receiving a strong enough signal on the HP to remain connected.  Your wireless transmitter is sending the same to all your devices, but each device has its own receiver and either the HP's isn't quite as good as the others at picking up, or it's degraded by its location in the house.  I'd try the cheapest thing first, and that would be to get a signal boosting antenna for your wireless router.  You can find them as cheap as about ten bucks.  I had a similar problem and this solved it for me.  Good luck, and\n\nPeace,\n\nRadical Geezer

You need to unplug the cable modem power for 30 seconds and plug it back in to let it reset after you change computers.  I just found that out from trial and error, while I was hooking up to my laptop.  On the laptop I had to restart the computer also, but on the desktop I didn't have to.  I think I am going to buy a wireless router next.

I bet your router is not configured properly.  In the meantime, do this:\n\nstart>run\nThen type CMD and hit enter\ntype the following, exactly:\nipconfig/release\nhit enter\nthen type :\nipconfig/renew\nthen hit enter\n\n\nSomething else you can try:\n\nPower off all computers, router, modem, for 10 minutes.  Then power up ONLY the modem.  Once the modem has 3 solid(not blinking) lights, then power on the router.  Then power on the computers.

There must be a source of interference or the distance is too long, most wireless routers have a maximum distance for usage. Check your equipment manual, if you don't have it search it in the manufacturer's web site. It is possible that your equipment has a failure.

Sometimes this happens to me, there are two solutions\n\nIf you click on your wireless network icon there is a repair button.  It disconnects the network card, reconnects it and reestablishes the IP address\n\nAnother solution is to unplu your router for 10 seconds, then plug it back in.  It will reestablish the IP addresses
