    Purchased this router about two months ago, it's been good so far, except it keeps dropping the connection with one laptop. Typically we will be connecting two laptops & two iPhones. Only my older (2008) Acer 5315 will drop the connection for a few moments and then re-establish itself. This will happen several times an hour. I've checked all the settings on the laptop & router, and I can't figure out the cause. I even reloaded Windows (Vista on this machine-could this have something to do with it?)

    Has anyone else had this issue? I'd appreciate any help on this-otherwise we're really pleased with this router.

    I think this issue is heat related, because if you touch the surface of it, runs really hot, probably the dissipation will be less if we put the router in the stand provided; other than that, the router drops the signal sometimes and we reset them (modem, router) unplugin them, we run two laptops one BB, one LG, two desktops maybe a Playbook and sometimes two playbooks and a tablet.
