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

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

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...

thanks

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