Router Freeze, Loss of Connection Possible Fix

[fuzed]

I've had numerous problems when it comes to media streaming from my 834GT, the router's fine, stays up NO problem whilst im using my desktop (ethernet), but if I'm using wireless, esp with media streaming (I dont use wireless for anything else), It will disconnect the router and kill my connection, this normally happens after an hour or so of streaming, I then have to manually reboot the router (i.e. pull the power out)... its done this pretty much since I hooked the PS3, I''ve tried turning of uPNP to no avail...

anyone got any ideas, just changed my settings from auto 108 to b&g on channel 10, hoping that could help...

I get 8mb's down and 456kb up, connections always been stable otherwise, think im just plagued with a crap router.

It certainly sounds like the consequences of a poor wireless quality signal. Data gets corrupted and needs the router to retransmit it. This retransmitted data also gets partially corrupted. The cycle repeats and the problem snowballs.

Make sure your router is up off the floor and away from any large metallic or electrical items (including other cables) and experiment with different wireless channels - start at 13 and work down.

thanks for that will give it a go... i just don't understand how it can work for ages and then just fall over, the router is on the first floor (on teh floor to get better signal strength), the ps3 is downstairs in the lounge.

Could be a new source of wireless interference in the vicinity.
