Wireless Network Crash's/Disappears
« on: April 30, 2008, 03:40:44 PM »

1st Time Poster, sorry if i miss something

My problem is that about once a month or so my wireless network goes down, i have 1 desktop using a wireless USB adapter, and 1 Laptop using it's builtin adapter.  So the problem is that randomly the wireless network just disappears.  At which point neither my desktop nor my laptop can see/find my network.  I have a unique SSID, i use WPA encryption, i am running Firmware 1.11 on the router.  To get my wireless back up, i have to reboot the router. The router is set to Mixed 802.11n, 802.11g, and 802.11b.

The desktop adapter info, is a Trendnet TEW-424UB H/W: 3.0R, and using Trendnets latest drivers
The laptop adapter info, is a Intel Pro Wireless 3945 A/B/G Mini-card, using intel's latest drivers

I have a total of 5 things on my network
1 Wired Destkop
1 Wired TiVo Dvr
1 Wireless TiVo Dvr, using TiVo's Brand Adapter
1 Wireless Desktop, Trendnet TEW-424UB H/W: 3.0R
1 Wireless Laptop, Intel Pro Wireless 3945 A/B/G Mini-card

Any info about what could be crashing my network, or causing it to disappear, would be greatly appreciated.

What anti-virus / Internet security / firewall software are you using?  I've encountered that my Norton 360 software firewall module must have my wireless SSID listed as:

1) Shared (v1)
2) Trusted (v2)

Before my Windows can ever have my SSID "showed" in the list.
