I have a Linksys BEFW11S4 router. Occasionally when my wife tries to use her laptop, she can't connect the router (or obviously the Internet). My computer, which is tied directly into the router by the ethernet cable, works perfectly. Doing the site survey on the laptop shows nothing is available. When I unplug the router and plug it back in, everything works perfectly again for awhile.
It seems to do this overnight most of the time and happens 3-4 times a week. Any suggestions as to what is causing and how to fix it?
I've had a variety of Linksys networking products over the years and my opinion is when they start doing this kind of thing, they are broken. Make sure that your router is separated from any sources of RF or electrical interference and that it is not stacked on another hot piece of equipment. If you have this powered from a surge protector or multiple outlet, place it on it's own circuit if you have one available. Check the AC adapter and if it is too hot to hold, it could be the problem, perhaps from an overloaded circuit. You might see the Linksys forum at www.dslreports.com for additional ideas.
