Linksys WRT54G Wireless Problem?

As far as I know there is no problem, as I have not had any issues except maybe when I first bootup my laptop it'll take a minute to connect but that I have figured to be the software.

But my roomates, both of them say that their connection drops and they have to disconnect and reconnect... that's all I know but as I mentioned it's not happened to me yet and I'll sit in the living room for hours of my lappy without a hiccup, hell I even connect in the parking lot while working on my truck!

I think maybe they are doing something, anything I should check or do? I just powercycled the whole network modem and router, I am running HyperWRT as well. Left the network down for 20minutes.

Hopefully it resolves the issue, but I just DO NOT want to go back to that STUPID Belkin Router which I would powercycle bi-weekly at times.

    It could also be their wireless adapters causing that, either with adapters' settings or just the quality. Make sure they don't have them set to low power when not in use or the adapter equivalent of sleep mode. Speaking of Belkin, I just replaced a Belkin adapter that would 'sleep' even when that setting was turned off. Got fed up and replaced it with real hardware - Linksys. Problem disappeared immediately.
