Wireless and SSH

Hi everyone!

I'm hoping one/some of you have experienced this before. I've had rock-solid SSH connections to my servers, until I upgraded to a Linksys wireless B router from a Netgear 8 port hub. Now, I seem to lose my SSH connection every few minutes, with the PuTTY error "Software caused connection abort." The only computers now that are utilizing the wireless capabilities are the laptop computers.

Other applications that utilize the Internet (AIM/Yahoo/MSN) work just fine, and never lose connection.

I don't see any timeout settings anywhere on my router - have any of you seen this before, and could you offer me suggestions? If so, please respond.

BTW, I usually never leave any SSHs running if I'm going AFK - but if I walk away to smoke a cigarette or plop in front of the TV and leave it idle, the connection drops.
