Wireless router issues

[Matt]

Got me a nice wireless router, works fine for about 10 mins, then it starts to randomly drop connection, laptop wont connect, etc...the unit feels very HOT after a short time, anyone else have a hot router, or is mine RMA material

What make is the router?

The only time my wireless router has ever given dropped connections was months ago, I sorted it with a firmware update.

Mine does get warm to the touch, but not what you'd call hot.

its that well known brand OVISLINK

its got the latest firmware installed, as i say, it works fine to start with, then starts to mess about once up to egg frying temperature

I have the Belkin, it gets warm, but thats about it.

After installing the latest firmware, mine disconnects if it becomes idle.

its not doing it when idle, it just does it when it fancies unfortunately!
