New Router Drops Internet Connection?

Question

Hi, recently we had to update our wireless router because the old one wouldn't work with our direct TV service. I was ecstatic because the old one would always just give up if I tried to play LOTRO at the same time as my Dad watched Netflix, and forget using Skype. So anyway we got a new one, it's a Belkin, and here's where it gets complicated....

Now, my computer (Windows 7 64bit) works perfectly, BUT, my Dad's computer (Windows 7...something...) AND my Mom's computer (a Mac of some sort or other) both get periodically kicked off and it's also very slow. This never happened to either of them before. Any idea why it pulled the old switcheroo? I feeI should also mention all we really did was buy it, bring it home, plugged it in and nothing else.

its probably down to chipset incompatibility
turn security down to WEP in the belkin
or enable the GUEST(old 54G signal) which is WEP
and connect to that instead.
Most routers are now Dual SSID capable

verify the configuration on the router there might desire to be something incorrect , bec u suggested it final for 15 min , thats with the aid of a working configuration bec while u restart ur community and to be function frequently it takes approximately 2 min and then it takes approximately 15 min to verify the full community configuration and all its applications. im speaking relating to the router here. plz touch ur ISP ( internet provider provider ) and verify with them the configuration. and enable them to verify the line for u bec if there is too many broadcast drawing close ur outdoors line from the ISP thats additionally leads for dropping the relationship. desire i helped here , have a remarkable day :)
