    wireless network disconnects randomly
    So I've been on the same wireless network for years now, and have never had a problem with it. I never used to have a password or any sort of security on it until about a week ago. I have a linksys wireless router, it's a fairly old router, but still works fine, and the signal is fine. I just added security mode: pre-shared key with WPA algorithm: AES. There is also a group key renewal of 3600 seconds. Every since I added this security feature about a week ago, I've had problems. It started that it just wouldn't automatically connect when I turned on my computer. I would have to re-enter my password and redetect the wireless network every time I turned my computer on. This was mildly annoying, but not a big deal. Then, just starting today, my wireless network disconnects about every hour or so for 1-2 minutes. It's not just my computer, every computer in the house has the same problem. In about 2 minutes, the network will come back again, and everything will be fine again. Anybody know a way to stop this from happening?

    Disconnecting every hour(3600 seconds), looks like you new security, Couple of good Computer guys here may be able to help. If not, I would contact Support for your Security Key.
