I have a linksys WRT54G which I feed into a wireless signal booster
(linksys WSB24). This provides my wireless downstairs where I have a
laptop and TivoHD. The Tivo is on one end of the house and the router
on the other end, so these two are about as far apart as they can get
inside my house.
Lately, the wireless network has been dropping out a lot. While I can
get to the internet on the wired computers, I can't transfer a file from
the TIVO. The TIVO signal strength will be good (68-72%), but the TIVO
claims it can't find a gateway (this is when in the problem state, not
when things are working normally). Also, on the Tivo, Netflix won't be
there and other features that have to go over wireless will be missing
due to lack of network connections
It seems that if I just unplug the router for a second and plug it back
in...things start working again. However, this doesn't seem to provide a
permanent fix as it all happens again eventually. It seems as if the
wireless network is dropping out...and it seems as if the laptop can
still get to the internet, though I might be wrong about all of the
details as I'm not using that laptop a lot.
Should I get a new router?
