are you saying the router loses connection to the server or your comp lose
connection to the router.

if the router to server, talk with your isp. Could be cable or exchange
problems.

if the comps to router, try another channel.

Depends what wap/router you have... At my old house I had a wrt54g and
several times a day I would have to reboot, finally got a lamp timer ($3 at
ace, cheap temp fix) and 4 times a day it dropped and restored power.. At my
new place, I have a pre-n wap/router (linksys wrt300n) and it doesnt loose
connection... don't know if it because of a different location/better
power/etc, but have noticed that when the power flickers from storms, clocks
will flash 12:00 but the wap/router picks right up and goes on, so I'm
assuming it handles power gliches/dirty power? better....
