I'm noticing that on my wireless connection, any time I'm playing poker online (pokerroom.com, pokerstars.com) I get disconnected. If I play downstairs, on my wired connection, I get no disconnections. Both computers are hooked up to my Dlink 614+, so they are both behind a router. Any idea how I should go about diagnosing this?

This is the ONLY problem I've ever noticed with this router, FWIW.

Here's the results of a netstat -a while I'm playing (and getting Warning errors):

I'm not sure if the disconnetions are specific to the laptop itself (these are both on downloadable clients that don't rely on java) or specific to the laptop. Any ideas how to figure out?

Ok, I'm trying to play the same games right now with the laptop hooked up to a wired port (still behind the firewall though), and it works just fine. Any ideas?

I've turned WEP off, still no luck.

Reset router to factory settings; I have no idea what could be causing this. :|

Ideas?

Edit: Analyzing my router logs, I don't see any reports of dropped packets at the router level. Are there any diagnostic tools that I should run for my Wireless connection?

Switched wireless cards on my laptop, now I have no issues. Maybe my TrueMobile is at fault. :|

Just an update, updated firmware seems to be helping so far. :D

Edit: Helping, I guess, but still having disconnects. :|
