Belkin router dropping network during games
Hi guys. I've had a Belkin wifi router for a while now, and I have a problem it seems noone can fix.
The router is connected via wi-fi to my computer upstairs (about 10 ft away, so no distance issues), and works fine, most of the time. The problem comes when I try to game. Usually the game I'm playing isn't even using the internet or the network, but after a few minutes the network disconnects and leaves me with a red-crosses network icon in my tray. The time it takes to disconnect varies, usually from about 5 minutes to as much as 20. If I exit the game, the network will reconnect eventually, quicker if I "repair" it. The weird thing is that the problem seems to be with the router itself. I have a 360 wirelessly set up to it too, and the network dies on that at the same time.
Belkin suggested I change the channel, as well as pretty much every other setting on the damn router, but nothing works. The upstairs comp uses an INexQ USB wi-fi connector. As far as I'm aware, there are no other SSIDs in the area, and my current one is the only one in my list.
Can anyone please reply if they have any idea what could fix this?
