I have a belkin F5D8236-4 N wireless router that my mac desktop and pc laptop both use. the router drops the connection sporadically. sometimes just the wireless light goes out; other times all the lights go out at once, then it starts coming back on.
i've moved the router all around to different areas, and that doesn't seem to solve the problem.
thanks for your help!
Check for a firmware update and, if that doesn't work, call Belkin and discuss a possible warranty replacement.
I have had nothing but problems with their equipment and do not recommend it.

Yes, I have reset it multiple times. I tried to download the firmware from the Belkin site, but it will not open on my mac (says it's not a video file...?).
Yes, the connection stay up when bypassing the router. It happens all the time - sometimes a few times in an hour. I'm not sure how to tell if it's just the router dropping or the modem also.
Does your connection stay up when you bypass your router, i.e. plug a pc directly into your modem.? Does it happen at a certain time? Is just your router dropping or your modem dropping also?
Also, try to update the firmware of the Belkin Router.
Have you tried a hard reset, then setting up the wireless anew?
Have you reset the router and set up the wireless anew?
