It's a fairly new router. All that firmware talk is over my head, don't even know what that is. It could be that we have many devices on the wireless network but my laptop is the only one with issues. Basically I've been messing with skype the last couple days making sure everything works so I can talk to my dad overseas but every video call I have made has been dropped at some point.

BTW, we have 3 iphones, a wii, and 2 laptops connected wirelessly as well as a desktop and xbox hardwired in.
