    Hardy and Verizon FIOS wireless don't work well.

    Hi,

    I have a weird problem that occurs when I make wireless connections from my Macbook Pro and desktop (running hardy) to my Verizon FIOS wireless router. When I run bittorrent clients from these machines I loose wireless connectivity after around 10 minutes.
    - This doesn't happen from the machines using different OSes. So it's a hardy problem.
    - When the connection is down from one machine I can still access the network from another (so the router isn't crashing).
    - When I run a bittorrent client on the Macbook Pro on a different wireless router (that at work) it doesn't bring down the wireless. So it's not due to hardy alone. It's hardy + FIOS router.

    Note that I'm not using WEP on the FIOS router because the Hardy machines wouldn't connect to it. The router does have MAC address authentication enabled.

    Anyone experienced anything like this or have ideas as to what I should tweak to get things working properly?

    Cheers!

    Edit: looks like the wireless does also go down with the router at work but it takes a lot longer.
