I'm using a Belkin wireless router and I find that if I connect my laptop using wireless, the connection will drop after exactly 1 hour with no (apparent) possibility of re-connecting.
Other facts that I might add:
- after the wireless connection drops, connecting the laptop using the cable will be successful
- after the wireless connection drops on the laptop I can't connect any device to the router using wireless
- rebooting the laptop made no difference
- I did not reboot the router because the wired connection was working
- OS: Win 7
- I read some things here and there about the wireless security settings on the router being at the root of this but no hint as to the situation being actually hopeless (can't do anything other than change the router)
- can't find any settings in the wireless area of the router setup interface that refers to an interval of 1 hour
