Alright so i have a BEFW11S4 linksys wirless router in my appartment to route a high speed verizon line to 3 computers. i set everything up fine and it works but it seems that when the router isnt accessed in an hour or so the router cannot be accessed and the internet does not connect. it is a secured wep network. in order to resolve the issue i have to unplug the power to the router and plug it bag in and it ressests itself any ideas?

next time http into the router and see if you have a ip address on the wan interface. It could be verizon dropping you and the modem reset just reinits the connection.

Not likely because of Verizon. I have heard ton of wireless routers with dropping, resetting problems. I guess it is just wireless routers haven't matured yet. You can try update the firmware and pray that it would work. Mine didn! I bought a 108Mb Netgear WGU624 and it was a big mistake. I turned it into a wireless access point and using my wired router mainly (Netgear too but very very stable).
