I have a wireless linksys router and every now-and-then it loses the
connection and I have to restart the router. Is there any solution to
this problem? I have read that it could be related to my IP Lease Time
but could ther be any other causes?

It could be you've got a crappy router. Without further info, it's
impossible to tell. As for lease time, your ISP will give you a value.
It's your router's responsibility to renew the lease before it expires.
It might also be a problem with your arp cache etc. You can use a monitor,
such as ethereal, to watch what happens.

I am not sure of the exact name (i've had it for a year or so) but it
very well could be a Linksys bug or something like that...I dont think
its a dhcp release time thing b/c it does it on a unpredictable
pattern...it may be fine for 3 days then act up or it may be fine for
an hour and act up....keep me posted if you find out anything...

The model is: BEFW11S4 V4

It also can be a cable modem going bad! I had a similar problem and
replaced my router SEVERAL TIMES with diferent vendor types - sill would
drop connection especially when transfering large files (well 4meg which
means I had a real problem getting microsoft service packs!). Turned out to
be the modem - when I replaced it all was just fine (got the 128meg directX
update and even a 700meg Linux live CD image).

I found out with mine that it was a bad capacitor. Check with your
manufacturer. Mine was a linksys.
