Get a USRobotics wireless router.. i have two up and running for 5 months now and 0 problems so far.. rocksolid.. only downside: 4 ports only (rj45) and no uplink so you can to hook up max 4 machines with wire or go wireless..
I have one as well, and have had a few times where it would loose the connetion off and on. But all in all, it has been great. I have a second one for back up. BUt most of the others out there suck worse. And the other option is to buy one from cisco for like 2k.
No shit mos tpeole don't realize thing like cordless phone that also run at 2.4 Ghtz can interfere with routers. That's the negative of unregulated wavelengths.
Upgrade to a better firmware...drop the default linksys bullshit...
Search google for firmware...There is a bunch of new ones since linksys released the sourcode...its fucken nice...You can have a webserver...sssh server and all this other shit...
Hard wire it and see if it still has problems... If not then it could be interferance, then you will have problems with all of them as as far as I know they all use the same 2.4 channel

It works fine hard wired. I'll bring it back to best buy and get another one
Just a suggestion,
make sure you firewall and name your connection so your neighbors cant use it. This is becoming more of a problem as wifi cards are becoming more popular and are great to tap into wireless routers. I currently have 3 wireless connections my laptop picks up. Only 1 bothered to firewall and name his connection. The other two are wide open for anyone to use.

how do you think I know my neighbor's linksys works fine with my computer
1 - change the channel
2 - if you have a cordless phone, relocate the wireless base to another location.
3 - download a copy of netstumbler, and use it to guage the network strength. YOu might have to re-orient the linksys box relative to the place you work.
Juicy, even without a uplink port, you can always cascade one router to another, you are NEVER restricted by how many wired connection you can have (although the DHCP will give up at 253)
Call tech help and let the guys in India help you out....they just read back the instructions to you and if you have a question that they can't figure out they put you on hold and then hang up.......
