Boxee killing my Wi-Fi completely

[madneon]

I am having the same problem Streaming a wi-fi web cast after 15 mins or so I will loose internet connection. But if I wirelessly stream a movie from my nas I get no problem (Apple Airport extreme, win xp, dual core amd 2400+ ,2 gig ram) Liquid cooled HTPC. BUT when I do the same to my wired HTPC ACER Ion thingee, no problems. Its a wifi thing.

Try this:

Disable IPv6 in the router config which is enabled by default.
Applications > Utilities > Airport utility > Manual Setup -> Advanced -> IPv6 -> Local-link only

When you lose wireless, go to the event viewer and look at the system log and see if there is anything relevant. If it's the linksys adapter i would expect to see something about the adapter itself being reset (vs if it's the router)

I will check as far as the router being at fault all the other pc's wired and wireless continue to work I may look for updated drivers or might pickup that dual band wifi adapter I was reading about about 65$ on base.
