Hi All!
I am having a small business setup & i am facing problem with my router. My router gets disconnected from all my computers in my office on various intervals. i got the temporary solution for it but was not worth to it. The solution was i had to unplug the the router & again to connect after a while. It happens many times & i got frustrated of it. This was happening with my old netgear router.
Please Help....!

Ok!
Try this settings on wireless router :
Beacon Interval =50

Let me also know the firmware version for router .

Is your router losing it's connection to your Internet Service Provider or is the computer losing it's wireless connection to the router?
That is a question that is in my mind.
I recently helped a friend who was having a PC to Router connectivity problem because his 2.4Ghz cordless phone was interfering with the router signal.
I am not sure if this applies to your router...I will have to check the specs

I pinned my issue to one specific setting in my wireless router.
In WPA mode, this setting affects the stability of my link:
ReAuthentication Timer
It is normally set to 1800 secs (30 mins) - and this makes my MBP disconnect every - yes - 30 mins...almost. Sometimes it tend to survive the interval.
The valid range is 10-9999 seconds in my router.
If set to 10 secs, it almost disconnects all the time - every 10 secs.
If set to 9999 I can work some hours without disconnects (my guess is 9999 secs, or 166 mins).
It seems like some update from Apple in the 10.4.10 release, effeciently broke the WPA encryption implementation of ReAuthentication.
It makes no difference to switch between WPA and WPA2.
No encryption is rock stable - but I really do need WPA - as there are a lot of people around here, and I'd like to stay somewhat safe. (I can see som 10+ WLANS in my appartment).
