will come back,

Microwave oven interference. It may not be your own microwave oven.

The interference may be at the wireless client (laptop) and not at the WCG200.

Try running a continuous ping to the router with: start -> run -> cmd ping -t 192.168.1.1 If it stops and complains, then you've lost the wireless link between your computer and the WCG200 router.

You can also do the same thing to the IP address of your Comcast gateway IP address to see if you've lost connectivity to the internet. This should probably be done from a wired, and not wireless connected computer.
