Wireless router dropping wireless connections

The router I ordered is dualband so I can hopefully use the 5ghz band.

Remember that it'll only be able to communicate on 5 GHz if the client WiFi device has that same capability. Though, you might already be aware of that.

I am, though I don't know if it does.

Thanks everyone for your posts. I ordered the E3000 from ncix.com, it should come tomorrow or the next day, though I don't know when I'll get to set it up. When I do I'll let you guys know the results.

I know this is coming in late in the conversation but have you tried a wifi analyzer app? I use one for my Android phone to put my router on a channel with the least interference. I got a couple neighbors that use channel 1 and 5 and thus get poor results if I use those channels or even adjacent channels. Channel 11 was the sweet spot for my case, excellent strength. Even if you do get a new router, I would still analyze your wifi for the best channel. I hope everything works out.

Do you know of a good app for iPhones that does that?
I didn't try every channel, just tried a few throughout the range. I def tried 1, 5 and 11 and a few others.
After each change I waited a minute, made sure the connection worked, then walked up the stairs with the laptop and always got the same result.

Also something interesting that I've now noticed is that my mouse was acting wierd for a few weeks, stuttering and sometimes clicks weren't registering. Now I've realized that the mouse works on 2.4gHz too!

Looks like Apple pulled *all* the Wifi Analyzer apps.

You can still install it from the developer website but I don't think it works with IOS 5 or something. Don't know how you would do that since I have never owned a iphone.

Sounds like that would only work if I jailbreak. Oh well.
Aren't there any windows apps for that?

try this one, iirc tomato or dd-wrt has something similar. http://www.metageek.net/products/inssider/http://www.nirsoft.net/utils/wireless_network_view.html

I'm sorry Apple is intentionally harassing you, maybe I can suggest you switch to a better mobile OS while we're at it?

maybe someone attacks your network it's a possibility.
