Wireless Works Sporadically
Linksys WRT610N V1
Firmware Version 1.00.02 B10
Windows XP Service Pack 3
I have a Linksys WRT610N V1 router that has 3 wired PCs, two wired printers and a wired Blue Ray player for the TV. All the wired systems work fine. All the wireless devices in the house sporadically will have a connection for a while and then no connection for while. I currently have the security disabled (been trying several things)… and all wireless enabled for only the devices that I have listed in the MAC Address Filter. The attached PDF file has several screen shots of the routers setup screens.
Wireless devices – HP Laptop, several iPhones, Kindle, etc… My internet provider is Earthlink coming through a Comcast Cable modem. The cable modem is Scientific Atlanta DPC2100R2.
I know very little about networks so if I need to provide additional information please point me in the right direction. I would like to get this corrected so I have a constant wireless connection to the wireless devices in the house.
Any help will be appreciated.
Thanks,
Jerry

I appreciate everyone's help and suggestions. I followed the advice and learned some things in the process. The ultimate solution was the purchase of a new Cisco E4200. All devices on the network are now up and running.

Routers
A router is a networking device that forwards data packets between computer networks. Routers perform the "traffic directing" functions on the Internet. The most familiar type of routers are home and small office cable or DSL routers that simply pass data, such as web pages, email, IM, and videos between computers and the Internet. More sophisticated routers, such as enterprise routers, connect large business or ISP networks up to the powerful core routers that forward data at high speed along the optical fiber lines of the Internet backbone. Though routers are typically dedicated hardware devices, use of software-based routers has grown increasingly common.

that will take me a while so not sure I can respone quickly on the results but I will give it a try.

Not sure about the wireless card suggestion. The only device on the wireless network with XP is the HP laptop and I have found that once one of the wireless devices drops they all drop. The laptop, the iphones, etc.... Seems like something is taking down the full wireless network every couple of hours and it is down for several hours then magically comes back.
Thanks,
