That's have been my experience with Icecat in the past and I think others have mentioned this in the past too. I don't know where it comes from, or if I still have the same issue, as my wifi is pretty stable nowadays. I'm sure more people have experienced this. It's something we should fix soonish. Ideas anyone?
