Linksys Router Signal Loss WRT54G

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windows.networking.wireless (More info?)

Are you broadcasting the SSID? Many have reported random connectivity
problems if this is turned off.
Under your routers Advanced Wireless settings, try setting the "BasicRate"
to "Any" instead of "Default." I've found this helps prevent failure of
large file transfers over wireless.
