Change your Security mode to WPA (TKIP) this should then connect OK with no dropouts. I would advise using a long passkey, perhaps 22-26 characters long alphnumeric with some special characters in there as well. This may seem a little OTT but, this is the safest option if you don't take your security serious nobody else will.
This is of course all dependant on whether your other equipment supports it.

Anyway good luck, and post back if it's still a problem.

Tried changing the security settings to TKIP, but it was still the same. Can connect, but kicked off after exactly three minutes!!

It is starting to bug me - Big Time!!
