Something interesting about the Fios router that I found out last night. I dont know the model offhand it's one of the new ones though...black and glossy etc... I was having random disconnects on all my wireless computers, especially when trying to play WoW. So I called verizon and they said they would send me out a new router. Then, seeing as a new router was coming, I decided to go mess around with the settings on the router to see if I could find a solution.

I turned the firewall on the router off, and the wep key, and bingo, no disconnects. I am going to check if the wep key was the problem, but I think it was the firewall. It might have been a conflict between windows firewall and fios. just a tip for anyone having the same problem
