I have a very good linksys router and a linksys thing i plug into my usb and it picks up the signal. When I play WoW (a multiplayer game on the pc) like 30 seconds after i log in it disconnects me. when im wired to my router, it dose not disconnect me at all, everything works fine. any suggestions?

You must have something faulty going on with your router, or your USB receiver has a problem. Did you install the updated drivers for the USB device? I would check that first.

Otherwise, does the USB receiver pick up other wireless signals and hold a connection? If it does, I suppose you must have a faulty router, though this is very strange as I personally have purchased numerous Linksys routers for customers and have had nothing but unparalleled success.

Also, you could always check the wireless configuration on the router (probably try factory defaults first to make sure). Hope this helps!

crashcore has the right suggestions. Are you able to keep a solid connection when browsing the web for example vs. playing WOW? You also did not specify how far from the router your usb device is. There are a lot of factors that can influence wireless reception. Concrete walls, microwaves, cordless phones, wireless tv setups, etc (they all use 2.4 ghz bandwith) Im assuming your using 802.11b/g. Let us know some more details and we can try and pinpoint the problem. Like crash said above, it is very rare that a linksys router would be faulty. I have had nothing but good experiences with them.
