I have this router belkin F5D8236-4 and I dont know why its signal keeps dropping everytime? I have also called belkin support about the same problem but they only tell me to change the channel which is of no use. I dont know whether I have to update its firmware so if any one could give me some suggestions it would be great.
First of all can you please tell us the exact model of your router? Can you be pretty sure that it's not the ISP that's the issue if all the attached computers disconnect? Do wired connections have the same issue? You can also try to reset the router to factory defaults and reconfiguring and see whether it works or not.
