I have had the WMP54GS and WRT54GS setup for around 2 years now. I have version 2 of the router, and everything has been fine up until a couple weeks ago. Lately I have been getting randomly dropped from the router. I already have the latest firmware for the router, and have tried changing the channel, and the operating mode to G only, but nothing helps. Sometimes drops occur ever few minutes, sometimes they are so constant that I cant even connect at all. I will refresh my network list and the network will not show up for a few seconds, and then it will, so I will try and connect and it will say Unable to connect.
Sometimes when I refresh the network list and it will show my network like 4 times... like this
SSID
SSID 1
SSID 2
SSID 3

I have SSID broadcast off if that makes any difference...

I have no idea what is going on, is this a problem with the router or the network card? What should I do? thanks

You may have a bad cap in there. I take it the warrantee is out after 2 years so it may pay to pop the front off and just check what is in it and that they are good. I have read about this on Netgears and it's certainly possible that other brands could be affected.Replacing the caps for good ones even though the original didn't look bad fixed the issue.

Here's a pic of the motherboard in it... http://content.techrepublic.co...-1035_11-62182-13.html

Another thing to try is on your computer with the wireless card, go ahead and remove the wireless card's drivers, reboot, reinstall and see if that helps.

Another idea//option is to actually plug directly into the wireless router and see if you experience the same network disconnects.

Hope this helps,

There is always dd-wrt firmware.
Or try to limit the amount of connections you have.

many things can cause the problem:
try reinstalling the linksys and adapter firmware .
or maybe there is a 3rd party like a firewall or other software blocking the computer router connection
personally i think the problem is from the computer not the router, try connection from another one and let's see the results.

(this is a ancient post , but many people are facing this problem , i will be always happy to share what i know
