Linksys WRT54GS SpeedBooster.

i brought the deal that was on at pc world, and after a week with few problems, the internet now reguarly disconnects and connects again.

i am not using the speedbooster, as i have wireless on my laptop. is there anyone who has this router and has this problem and know how to resolve it?

thanks

the wireless network mode is on mixed
the wireless channel 11. 2.462.ghz
the mtu is on 1500

I have a Linksys WRT54G router (without the speedbooster) and mine use to disconnect all the time too. But now it seems OK.

Is it just the WAN connection that's failing or do you lose the connection to the router itself?

If the connection to the router is dropping try changing the channel to 2 or 7. It could be interference from a cordless phone or suchlike....

its appears to be the wan, i am just trying out if changing channels helps...never had this prob before, strange just happened today...

it looks like there is an updated firmware for the router on their website, i have downloaded .bin file, but there is no option i can see in there menu for me upgrade...

Do you use P2P a lot? There's an issue with that router and P2P usage.
