I am running a Motorolla SB5100 cable modem and a D-Link DIR-615 wireless router. The cable modem connects to the wireless router, and I have two home PCs that in turn connect to the wireless router.
When I first installed the wireless router, I was having some problems with Wifi connectivity. I always assumed it was location in my home that was causing the problem, so never thought to troubleshoot it.
However, I recently connected my laptop to the wireless router, and I on occasion lose internet connectivity. The connection restores after a few moments without my having to do anything, but there is definitely an intermittent connectivity issue. I've also noticed the same issue with both my home PCs.
I hard wired my laptop to my modem, taking the wireless router out of the equation, and had no connection problems. I assume this means something with my wireless router configuration is causing the issue.
How should I go about troubleshooting the wireless router?
