    I've had the exact same thing happen with 2 Linksys wireless routers, and had a third one die all together. Never again.

            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...

                                    Linksys does suck major ass, we used netgear and had a few problems, then we switch over to Belkin and its been working quite well, check it out.

                                    Take Luck!

                                          Sounds to me like you got a bad one. Just cause it's new doesen't mean it works!!!!
                                          If the problem persists i'd return it and get another one.

                                            Never had a problem with mine

                                            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

                                                  netgear instead of linksys?

                                                  do you own a bmw/mercedes/benz so i can trade you my ford pinto for it?

                                                      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.

                                                            Using the same router, works fine here.

                                                                      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)
