wireless router times out ... compaq ipaq

Hello.

I run a compaq wireless router for a simple share of 2 computers using the internet , the desktop is connected via ethernet and my laptop wirelessly.

it seems that every half hr or so the intenet conection times out from both computers . i simply reset the router and it works again.

its pretty annoying to have to do this time and again , if anyone has an answer to how to stop it from timing out i would be greatful .

thanks

The problem is your router. (You probably saw that one coming..). Try looking on the compaq site if there are any firmware updates or known bugs.
If not: Do you still have warrenty? You could get it "repaired" (which means: replaced) or buy a new one.
Sorry I don't have better news...

This could be just a setting, on either your router or imposed by your ISP.
