Did you ever receive any feedback on your issue? I am having a very similar
issue whereby my WLAN connection stops working after about 5 minutes.

Many of these wireless cameras are 802.11b only. In some cases, the
router or access point was set to 802.11g only instead of mixed b/g
mode. You should post more information on the router, type of
encryption, etc. etc.

I'll try to help if you post more info.
