    Hello

    I have a Linksys Wireless N Gigabyte router and am having a problem with it. It seems that with any of my wireless devices such as my notebook, iPhone, etc the internet will suddenly stop working. This can be after 15 minutes of use, or hours and hours of use. What I think is weird as it shows it still connected and at full strength just doesn't load anything. I have some wired devices going through the router such as my Desktop, PS3, 360, etc and connecting is always fine and perfect.

    So if you have any ideas please let me know

    Thanks
    Shawn

    I don't have any experience with N Routers as yet but I suggests checking the Wireless settings on the Router. Make sure it's in Wireless Mixed Mode and not N only. It sounds like when one of those devices joins the network (most likely wireless) it's kicking all the other wireless devices off the network. So you might want to verify the wireless mode on that device is also set to Mixed mode.
