Have not been able to connect to router with two computers using XP and 7. Wireless connection using 7 has no problem connecting to the router.

that's more of a complex issue, You would probably have better luck renewing your connection lease on your router on an interval. best of luck.

I am using this router with three computers running Windows 8. I am having no connectivity problems and the Linksys software works fine.

Solved the problem. You have to turn off the "home group" in windows. Once that's off, you'll have a flawless connection that no longer drops.

I have Windows XP and have had no problems with the Cisco Linsys E1200 and I've had it over 2 months.

Dear SB Leo,I never do anything to my router so where do I find this disconnect in so many minutes on the router, or is it on the computer, if so where? I do not mind leaving my laptop on , and it goes to idle after a few minutes anywayThanks so much for your help. LaRaine

I use Win 7 Home Premium and it hooked up fine. DO you have two drives in the Link Station? It will not work when you remove one drive. The navigator must first load. Try re-installing the software. Make sure the switcher or router is working ok. Try re-booting the router.

I was using the Linksys model WRT54GL on a laptop with Vista Home Premium. Had no problem with itconnecting and was getting a solid connection. This model should do the same.

I am using the Link with Windows 8 without any problems, so I'd expect the same with Windows 8.1. First have a look if your router doesn't have a USB port for connecting a printer to it.

Hello, if I understand you, this is posible. In fact, I have my actual connection very similar to your description. Look, I have one wireless router as my internet source and this is at my living room, so because my room is so far from there I connect one tp-link(1) to this principal router through a ethernet cable and I connect the another Tp-link(2) at my room and in this point with another ethernet cable I connect another wirless router with the same internet signal, so that is magic, now I have internet covering all the place without drop signal. I hope it helps.

My Xbox is downstairs about 20 feet away from my router, separated by one floor, and one wall. I haven't had many problems with my connection reliability (although during long streaming movies, I do sometimes get dropped).

Sorry I have not had an issue but really have not used the router that much yet.

I've got one on a windows 8.1 system and I can see and access either the 2.4 or 5.0 bandwidths without any problems. Maybe its an issue that is discussed on the Linksys and/or Apple support websites.

Win7 and 8 support is spotty at best. With the drivers from Netgear's website, I could only get a 2Mbps download speed. I thought the issue was the OS, so I upgraded to Win8 but had the same issue. My two other computers can download at my cap of 25Mbps. All are wireless. All are less than 20 feet from the router and in the same room with no blockage.

As far as I know no consistent solution. One rumour of improvement with windows 8.1 and new driversOnly USB wifi adapter seems to be definitiveSony accepted my computer in return within first month after purchase
