To begin with I thought the router had developed a problem but now I'm not so sure. The problem normally occurs as the browser requests a page. I noticed it particularly when viewing a webcam as the page refreshes regularly. However it's also happened when my Avast anti-virus tries to connect to the Avast server so it doesn't seem to be browser-related. It's also happened whilst listening to streamed audio (my line speed's not quite good enough for reliable video).
My router is a Technicolor TG582n. The wireless adapter is an Edimax EW-7711In complying with IEEE802.11n. The signal strength indication is always 4 to 5 bars (out of 5). Connection status always Normal to Good.
Nothing major has changed recently although I have received notifications for updates to Flash Player, Java and Firefox which I've installed. I can't say that this problem has coincided with any of these though. I think the Java update was the most recent.
I've tried uninstalling the Edimax software using Revo Uninstaller then re-installing but this hasn't improved things. If anyone has any suggestions I'd be most grateful.

I've been on holiday so don't yet know if changing the channel has resolved the loss of connection.

In general I recommend not using manufacturer specific wireless configuration utilities, just use Windows' built-in wireless configuration.

Edit: .... except that I can't seem to find a way of doing that. I've looked in Network & Sharing Centre and Internet Options but no obvious way forward. Under "Manage wireless networks" it shows the network as 'Automatically connect.'

Looks like it might have to be the beta after all.
