Hi Folks, Here are some tips and tricks....
I have had a couple of routers/switches/hubs cause/have issues. If it is a wireless unit, shut off the wireless only and see if that is the issue. Power them from a regulated power supply rather than a wall wart to see if that is an issue.
I have seen some people using cheap network wires. I use only CAT5e or CAT6 cables and they seem to be less prone to EMI/RFI/etc.
Some other tricks: Do you have the latest firmware for the routers? I have also used the DD-WRT software on a couple of routers. It has improved them dramatically. Of course it also voids any warranty!!
