Hi,

I have recently upgraded my wi-fi to a Belkin Pre-N router as it is supposed to have a greater range and speed than standard 802.11g.

The problem is that it seems to drop it's signal from time to time and I have to reboot it to get the signal back...!!! The two PC's which connect to it are using the Belkin Pre-N network cards as well, so I know it's not a compatibility issue. This PC is hard wired in and I get no connection problems at all, so that rules out the cable modem.

Does anyone else have on eof these Pre-N routers and if so have you had similar problems?

When setting up I went through the quick install process as stated in the manual - could there be something in the settings which I need to change to get it to function properly?

When it comes to routers etc I am a bit of a NooB - I haven't even made my wireless network secure yet, so anyone could be stealing my bandwidth.

HELP!

[EDIT]

Just remembered that it seems to happen at certain times of the day as well... could it be interferance?

I just read about the problem of lost connections being unable to renew the IP address because the router was unaware that the 'client' had lost the connection. The suggested solution was to use a fixed IP address. Can anyone talk me through how I would go about this?
