Router constantly disconnects

magictrick · 08-12-2007, 04:14 PM

I have a Linksys WRT54G Wireless Router that I've had for about a year. Today it just started randomly disconnecting and losing the connection. About every 20mins - 30 mins it just disconnects, and I have to unplug the power, and plug it back it and then it works again.
This is not only a wireless issue as i am connecting to it using a desktop as well using the ethernet wires.
This is the first time its started to do this, I've had disconnects before but they were rare and far between. Can this problem be fixed?

Thanks.

First off, I'd try changing channels on the router. Next, I'd do a firmware upgrade and a factory reset and reconfiguration. One or all of those measures may help.
