Ok, three laptops on one wireless router. Belkin N wireless router, model #F5D8233-4. two Toshiba Satellites and one Acer, all three running Vista Home Premium (yay Vista :rolleyes: ).

Every single day at least once a day I need to restart the router. At least twice a day we all need to disconnect and reconnect to the router. Sometimes it doesn't work.

Any ideas as to what I need to do to fix this? It's getting annoying. And it's frustrating the hell out of my son to the point we've actually gotten in a fight over it (remember he's autistic).

You updated the firmware?

Is it over-heating? My Netgear is perfectly reliable but if it gets too hot it reacts in the most annoying way by losing packets - everything stays connected but it just runs dog-slow until it is reset!

I had one like that too - some cheapo crappy thing. Had to keep switching it off to let it cool down.
