[QUOTE="iggibar, post: 1546852, member: 97843"] With being around so many other networks in my area, I noticed that my wireless connection would randomly drop. I fiddled with it some time by tweaking power range, channels, and a even moved the routers around. Each router has the ability to handle 2 frequencies(2.4/5ghz) and I had two of them setup in the house. I made sure to test each device while on a different channel and frequency, and I would still have the same problem...the connection would work fine, and then suddenly drop. I gave up after a while, and then had the idea to set all the devices having problems to a permanent DNS address. The problem never came up again. I believe what was happening is that someone around me had something that would interfere with the router, and trip the network protection, because I also noticed that if I turned off all network protection modes, the connection would never drop. I even went as far as to spend $400+ on a new cable modem and Asus router. I tested each individually with the old setup, along with completely disconnecting from the Linksys 24 switch, and nothing would fix the drop connection. I was happy to find out I could return everything :D [/QUOTE]
