Why does the wireless connection on my router keep on disconnecting?

Question

The connection seems to be fixed temporarily if I change the wireless channel or power cycle the router.

This is my router model information according to DD-WRT:

I use WPA2-Personal security with TKIP+AES.

Not really an answer, but I recently bought a new wireless router and based on researching hundreds of reviews and web sites, it seems that most consumer-grade wireless routers leave a lot to be desired. Heat is an issue, and with it, reliability issues. I have to reboot my wireless router every 48 hours or so or performance suffers, even for the wired computers.

There are many possible causes:

I'd try getting the two devices close together and see if that makes a difference.

	What do you mean by interference? – poymode Nov 12 '11 at 14:38
	Phones, microwave, walls, just about everything... Do you have the problem if the devices are close physically? – dbasnett Nov 12 '11 at 16:02
	I got it already, it was my PS3 with its media server searching enabled. Seems like it causes DoS to the wireless connection. I turned it off and all seemed well. Thanks! – poymode Nov 14 '11 at 5:34
