disconnecting router
this is driving me crazy..Computer #1 is a desktop with the modem and router hooked up to it. Comp #2 is my laptop which I am connected to the internet wirelessly.
My laptop internet connection goes through these cycles where it disconnects, reconnects, disconnects, reconnects etc...Sometimes this will continue for 5 minutes. Obviously, this wreaks havok on the online poker game.
Anyone have any experience with this problem and put a stop to it?

I have the odd problem with mine where it just disconnects, I have to unplug it for 10 seconds and plug it back in, fixes it.
Linksys WTR54GS
You have 2 options. Call it in to reset to factory, or buy a non-shitty brand. I spent about $150 on the new one and its great.
Also had the problem with Stars, every other client was OK.
most have a reset button you can push with a straightened paperclip.
This restores it to factory settings.
Correct, and a Linksys certainly does. With a Linksys (most models) you have to power it off, press and hold the button for 10 sec while powering it on. However after resetting it you will have to set up your wireless ssid/wep password etc.
Actually I don't mind the newer Linksys models, they are very reliable imo. Not sure how the router can have an effect on only one poker site, can't say I've ever seen that.
Actually just a thought, you can also reset it by going into the router setup using IE and using the firmware in the router.
My parents have the same one(x2) and a similar problem. My guess is Wetts is right, replace.
