Basically about a week ago every 10-15 minutes all the computers connected to the wireless would lose their connection. The weird thing is that the signal bar would still show full bars however there is no internet, occasionally it would show the little ! point on the signal bars on Windows 7. It's strange because it drops all the internet on my network including xbox's and smartphones. I have checked the channels and I'm the only one in my neighborhood on channel 7. Seems like it came out of no where unless someone changed the settings on the router. Anyone have any ideas what could be causing this?
 
Solution
That is a pretty old router and it could be starting to have problems.

When you look at the channels used around you remember that many overlap one another -- take a look HERE at the picture of the channels to see which ones overlap channel 7.
