Connections problems with Linksys WRT54G Router

I recall some of you having problems with there Linksys Routers disconnecting on them, I myself have had the problem this last month and figured out it was because one of my neighbors also had a Linksys Router and we both has the same Name(SSID) for our routers and even with the latest firmware from linksys i would still get dropped from my router from time to time, after i change my SSID name to a different name the drops stopped so you might want to do a search of wireless providers that come up besides yours and if its another with a similar name change yours and that should do the trick, below are other steps you can follow.

Open an Internet Explorer browser page on your wired computer(desktop).In the address bar type - 192.168.1.1
Leave username blank & in password use admin in lower case...
For Wireless Settings, please do the following : -
Click on the Wireless tab
Click on the Wireless tab on the Setup page- Here Wireless Network mode should be mixed- Provide any non linksys network name .... Name (SSID) box- Set wireless channel to 11- And wireless SSID broadcast should be Enabled and then click on "Save Settings" >>Now Click on the Sub tab under wireless > "Wireless Security" Change the Wireless security mode to "WEP"...and put a 10 digit key in ke1 and keep a note of the key and click save settings ...

Click on Advanced Wireless Settings...
Change the Beacon Interval to 75 >>Change the Fragmentation Threshold to 2304 Change the RTS Threshold to 2304 >>Click on "Save Settings"
Now see if you can locate your Wireless Network and attempt to connect...
