All,
At my parents house they have a old wireless router (maybe 7 or 8 years old). It normally works fine, but this weekend we had an extra 10 adults at their house and the wireless kept dropping from all the connected devices every minute or two.
Then, this morning after everyone left, the wireless was stable again.
The only thing I can think of is that there may be some kind of device limit on the router and when we exceeded the limit, it would kick off one connection in order to grant the next one and we ended up with a big game of king of the hill.
Does that sound reasonable?
To keep this on topic, one of the devices going on and off line was my opensuse 12.3 laptop.
Greg Hi DHCP set to only X number of clients? QOS enabled? Overloading the wireless chip will cause it to run hot an maybe go into thermal overload?
