[Cialug] Wireless Router Repeatedly Drops Connection

[Scott Prader]

It's possible that your signal shares a channel with other routers.  If you
can scan for whatever is around you, it should be relatively simple to
obtain the channel number/frequency that they operate on.  If you are on,
say, channel 11 and there are 2 or more others on channel 11, I would
change my configuration to reflect an unused channel.

Best of luck,
Scott
