Wireless problems

[flames_fan13]

My wireless at home the last couple of weeks won't stay connected for more than a couple minutes. It doesn't matter whether I'm right beside the router or upstairs in my bedroom. It's really getting fustrating having to click on sites only to see my wireless disconnect. I was hoping someone would have any suggestions to fix it. If it helps my router is Linksys and it's attached to a shaw modem and my desktop, the wireless is used on my laptop. The Desktop seems to get disconnected sometimes at night as well.

I'm hoping there's a way to fix it without buying a new router.

And this just started happening out of the blue? Enviromental interference? How old is the router?

Well it used to maybe disconnect once in a while (maybe once or twice a month) on my laptop but never this much on my laptop and desktop. I am not sure about the envirnmental interference but it's worked in these conditions before.

Try power cycling your modem and router ( in that order ) and see if it fixes it.

It almost sounds like a failing router. If hardwired machines are losing their connection, it sounds like a physical problem. Routers are cheap these days.
