I'm with virgin media at uni and it's a really heavily used connection, 5 students, with multiple pcs, consoles, smartphones etc.
The original router was a d-link jobby and that was rubbish, we had to reset it 10+ times a day.
I went out and bought a Cisco WRT120N and it's been better, don't get me wrong, much better. But it still drops once or twice a day.
Tried changing channels on the wireless to channel 6 which was unused by anyone in the street. Made no difference.
Any idea what I can check? Or is wireless unreliable by nature if you use it heavily, unless you invest in fancy business grade hardware.
