[QUOTE="lifeafter2am, post: 717320, member: 20101"] Not necessarily, I have had a few routers flake out on the WiFi connection but keep the wired connections active. Cheap routers are known to do this (and most store bought routers like Netgear and Linksys etc., are cheap), especially if there is a good amount of data going across the network. The only way to truly check this is to have another computer (I used my Linux laptop) connected at the same time and see if it happens to that one as well. That is how I found out that it was the router and not my Mac. The problem was solved by procuring a Cisco router, which worked like a dream. Then I also got a Time Capsule which also works as a great router, and I have had no problems with that either. [/QUOTE]
