I have a DCS-930L and DCS-933L using a DIR-850L router and camera's disconnect and then reconnect in 5 to 10 seconds. This causes the picture to freeze temporarily in mydlink. I was wondering what is causing this problem. Plus the video is choppy.

You need to log in to your access point with a wireless connection, such as from a laptop.  In doing so you get to choose your network - and if you can check the properties of the nearby networks showing up you might find that other networks are on the same channel as you.  Also, if they are on channels plus or minus 2 from yours (e.g., if you are on 8 and any other network is on 6, 7, 8, 9, or 10) they will have "collisions" with your traffic from your cameras.  Remember, 802. is a collision topogrtaphy and all devices "cooperate" in scheduling traffic.  So it sounds like your channel / adjacent channels has so much traffic that your camera stream is not getting air time quick enough.  Try using another channel for your access point and devices with no other network nearby or worse, not on your channel.  Also, if your wireless streaming TV is on your access point that is even more traffic competing with your video stream.  Sometimes you might want to have a separate access point for your video cameras (only one of the routers on your network can manage DHCP, DHCP on the other has to be turned off).

This was my problem too.
