I brought this router mainly for audio/video streaming, as well as multiplayer gaming.  I thought it would work.  However, whenever i try to watch a show online, or even play a flash game, it would disconnect.  I've only had this router for one day.  I have Time Warner Cable as my cable provider and honestly since I'm living alone, the only two device that'll ever use the router is my laptop and my desktop.  

Help?

Ensure DNS IP addresses are being filled in under Setup/Internet/Manual?
Turn off QoS options.
Turn off Advanced DNS Services if you have this option.
Turn on DNS Relay under Setup/Networking.
Setup DHCP reserved IP addresses for all devices on the router.
Ensure devices are set to auto obtain an IP address.
Set Firewall settings to Endpoint Independent for TCP and UDP.
Ensure Mutlti-cast Streaming is enabled under Advanced/Networking

What wireless modes are you using?
Try single mode G or mixed G and N?
What security mode are you using? WEP, WPA or WPA2? Preferred is WPA2 and Cipher type to AES only if your device support this.

Also post in the 660 or 655 forums in the future. Hope we an help you out.

Ok, I did all of that and I'm using a mix of N & G.

Also make sure that when your testing, disable anti-virus and firewall programs if they are installed. Sometimes these can interfere.

Well it's not dropping anymore, and I'm getting better performance.  But it still can't load YouTube videos in HD all the way, but I guess that's a minor problem.  Thanks for your help! 

I hope it'll stay connected when I play on Multiplayer.

Keep us posted if you need more help. It should work well for you.
Try using a different browswer for youtube. Try Opera or FF.
