I have one of these http://www.amazon.co.uk/TP-Link-TD-W8960N-300MBPS-Wireless-connections/dp/B0031SUB4S/ref=sr_1_2?ie=U...
The internet works fine, but ive noticed the wireless connection drops 3-4 times a day, i accessed the router after a 24 hour reboot and found 68 errors for wireless and 0 for internet.
Im really not clued up with routers and got this one new 4 months ago recomended by a friend.
I think an issue could be that i dont fully understand all the router setup, i basicly installed it and ran basic setup and added plusnet details.
As i say the net works fine no issues, its just the laptop connection drops 2-3 times a day and at the same time we loose connection to our mobile phones.
normally after 4 mins it connects back again, or i have to reboot router and it works again.
The router has the latest firmware as ive checked all that. I just wonder if my config is setup correctly?

Hope someone can help

A coupe of reports of it dropping signal in the comments on that Amazon page. Might be a problem with the device itself.

You could try changing the wireless channel but I think I would have to agree with Kelly

So its more likely to be a fault, i just want to make sure its somthing to do with the way it setup, before i see about returning it.

You could try in the Wireless Advanced section, changing the Mode to 11bg or 11n only which ever works best with your missus phone. See if that helps.

hmm. I didn't mean to empty quote there, but I can't remember what I meant to say.
