: Internet works except for wireless

Hey so I'm using shaw's moto box, the blue one, and Linksys WRT160N. My computer is connected to the linksys and works fine, but around 10:30pm practically everyday, nothing in the house can connect through wireless. Notebooks (PC+Macs), ipod, and ps3. I'm guessing maybe 4 people are trying to connect around this time. My only guess is that maybe the router can't handle more than 2 people at once? Any help would be appreciated because I'm getting my ears killed from people complaining.

Edit: works now, after going through linksys and renewing IP address, but is there any perhaps, permanent fix?

Go to the "Access Restriction" menu in your router an see if anything is enabled.

I believe 128 or so wireless connections are possible at one time.
You might consider resetting the router and starting over again.

I'm guessing maybe you have someone close by that religiously makes a phone call with a cordless phone or microwaves something at around 10:30pm.

Try going to your WRT160N and changing the wireless channel frequency.
