Wireless B connection goes in and out a lot.
I had to move my computer away from the router, meaning I had to set it up on wireless. Unfortionately my connection is always being lost, and then connecting again. Or sometimes it will not connect back. It is real annoying and it games, I get the Lost Connection all the time.
I have a LinkSys router, with 2 computers on the network and a wireless Printer. Do you guys have any idea why this might be happening. My signal strenth is 100% and I am only about 15ft from the router, which I can see across the hallway.

Are you also using Linksys wireless adapters? If you mix and match brands, hell even with the same brands, it's a gamble with a lot of adapters and access points. I had a very similiar issue with my tablet pc's internal wireless adapter and the wireless access point outside my apartment. I was always getting dropped every few minutes and no change in settings I tried was going to resolve the issue. My wireless adapter and the access point just didn't get along it seems. I eventually ended up buying a wireless PCI card and never had an issue maintaing connection again.

Crap, I meant to say Wireless PC Card for my tablet pc, not wireless PCI. However I do have a Linksys wireless PCI card installed in a desktop in my house which connects to a Linksys wireless/4 port router on the floor above it. They're both wireless B and have been functioning without any significant problems for years.
__________________Hope you have better luck with the PCI card.

Linksys Wireless-B is the worst router out there. It has terrible crashes and is never reliable. Upgrade to a Wireless-G router, and all your troubles will go away.

Wireless B is pretty old technology, but it should still be somewhat solid.
