Live Box Wireless Connection Drops during downloads

When I am listening to pod casts, downloading software updates or syncing my work laptop using the wireless connection from my livebox it always breaks the connection.

Podcasts will not reconnect at the same point
Software updates have to be restarted, if big enough I have to use a cable attached to the live box
Work synchs require a restart to make the VPN connection work again.

This started to happen with no real reason that I could determin and has been going on for 3 months.

Does anyone know of a fix?

I am connecting using three different macs and a pc. The problem is consistent across all.
The livebox is in france.
To problem does not occur if I plug into the live box with a wire

Please help!

Re: Live Box Wireless Connection Drops during downloads

Since this is a wireless issue, here's some places to start.


  1. For wireless connections, change the channel on the router, I like channels 1, 6, and 11 in the US.
  2. For wireless connections, try moving either the wireless router/AP or the wireless computer. Even a couple of feet will sometimes make a big difference.
  3. Update the firmware to the latest version available on the manufacturer's site.
  4. Reset the router to factory defaults and reconfigure.

Many times these measures will resolve a lot of intermittent issues.
