I have the same a 4-port wireless linksys router w/ cablemodem and I
have a lot of Wireless connection unavailable type errors; I'm not 20
feet away from the modem with my laptop either.  Its kinda lame.  But
hey it still works 80% of the time.

SIGH.

Maybe its cuz the router is 2.4Ghz and so are the cordless phones in the
apartment.

Beetz me.

I had a really similar problem when I had the same linksys as you do.
The solution was to move it away from the cable modem -- at least 6
feet.  My new router is a lot more forgiving than the Linksys was in
this regard, but it's no where near as tidy and that's a big problem for
a cable-tidy-neat-freak like me. ;)

Anyway, it might be worth giving this a shot.
