    Router keeps dropping wireless connections?
    My router drops all wireless connections but OK for connected computer.
    When dropped the router can be seen with a strong signal but cannot connect.
    Have to reboot router and then will connect.
    Any idea how to fix.
    Thanks

    One of my friends recently had the same problem. He updated hit laptop's wireless driver and all was fine. But I don't think this is your problem.

    Firstly I have found there are a lot of (laptop wireless / router) comparability with WPA2. Try setting the security to WEP security.

    Still nothing, reset your router manually, there should be a button at the back, then re-enter you internet settings via your internet browser and ip address **Don't do this unless you are fairly familiar with routers**

    Still nothing? Then update the router's firmware. Go to the manufactures website to get the updates, if any.

    If all else fails then return the router to your supplier and have it checked.


    Hope this helps
