Linksys WRT54GS: Half dozen dropouts a day. Solution needed.
I got my WRT54GS a couple of months ago and since then it regularly drops the wireless connection a half dozen or more times each day. When this happens, I shut down and restart the router and then reboot my computer. The signal eventually comes back, but it's always hit or miss. When it works, the signal is always strong, so it's not a matter of range. I've called tech support a number of times, but they're clueless, always coming back to me with a ridiculous explanation of what the problem might be. Before buying this unit, I was advised by a friend to avoid it, but I thought it would be worth taking a chance, since I had an earlier Linksys router (one of the earliest models) with a range extender and figured it was time to get newer equipment. When this one works, it's fine. There is, however, no way of knowing when it's going to misbehave. I'm wondering if this is really a poor choice or maybe I should return it to Linksys for a replacement.
