Okay. So my roommate and I picked up a linksys wireless G router in hopes we could just plug it in, put a password on it and done. But so far it is just been a quite hellish experience. I don't really understand what is wrong, but it will work fine for like 5 minutes, I have a mac and it usually connects fine, but i feel like when my roommate who has a pc connects to it, something happens after a few minutes and it stops working... It will still say there is a signal but there really isn't any signal and the internet doesn't work. And then i have to reset the router and it works fine for like 5 minutes again. But also my roommate usually has a lot of troubles connecting to it? AARRGGG I'm so frustrated. Any ideas?

Is this some sort of complex sexual metaphore?

perhaps upgrade your firmware first. be aware NOT to do this wirelessly, you can brick it.
