The one I had so much trouble with was a DLink DIR-628. I just couldn't
get anything to stay connected for more than a few minutes. After a
bunch of fiddling I finally threw in the towel and spent a lot more on
an Apple Wifi router and all the problems just went away. Maybe I should
have spent more time and called up tech support etc. but these things
shouldn't be that hard. I still have the D-Link around thinking I'll
eventually find a use for it somewhere but it was not working well in my
home.

I am not sure. It would be very helpful if you know the brand and
model of your router. I suggest doing a google search on how to
update drivers or firmware for your specific router using a Mac. You
could also start a new email conversation with the specific question
about updating your router in the subject line. There are lots of
really smart folks here on this list. I am not one of those though.
LOL! Seriously though, what is your brand and model? Did you purchase
your router or did it come from your Internet Service Provider?
Best of luck,
Christina

I have no idea how to change the channel. Also, i mentioned to make
sure your router is up to date. The reason I do not know how to
change the channel on your router is because I have a apple router
and my husband has specific software to that router installed on
his computer and that is where i changed the channel. There is a
diagnostic utility on your computer provided by to check the
internet activity and channels being used in your area.
Unfortunately, I cannot remember the name of it or where I found
it. Let me poke around a bit on my computer to find it so that you
can do a check to see if you have a low traffic channel you can try
to switch to. I apologize but I just don't remember things well if
I only do them once. :) Also, I asked you if your router belong to
your internet service provider. If so, they may offer free support
and maybe they can help you out. I believe some routers you can
actually get to through Safari to make changes. If your router and
Modem are from your ISP, I suggest you call their tech suport. I
have CenturyLink and I can call them and they can do a reboot/reset
of my modem remotely. They can even run diagnostics. So, they could
be a good place to try. Also, did you turn your router off for a
few minutes and then restart it? Sometimes this can fix the problem
very easily. I suggest you actually unplug the unit from the wall
and give it a rest for a couple of minutes. I have had tech people
ask me to do this before and it solved the problem.
Best of luck and I hope i didn't confuse you even more,
Christina

seems to me there used to be a setting where you would be logged
off if no activity happened after a certain amount of time. i
think it was in the screen saver menu. don't know if that is your
problem or not as i haven't had to change that setting with my
latest laptop. good luck, max

I had the same problem once. I had to change the channel on my
router to a less busy channel and the problem stopped. I am
thinking this is probably not the solution for you as I don't
think you changed the channel of your router but I thought i'd
pass this info along just in case it helps you. If your router
is provided by your internet service provider you may be able to
call them for help. Otherwise, you may need to update the
firmware drivers and such on your router or somehow access your
router to try different channels.
Best of luck,
