Network Connection Keeps Dropping after SP2 Installed

Currently using Linksys Broadband Wireless B Router.
Ever since I upgraded to SP2, my router keeps dropping the IP. The only solution is to cycle the power to reassign the IP. Two machines wired to the router. Both machines affected. Ruled out cables, cable modem, and network card. Adjusted MTU value, upgraded router firmware...Connection still dropping. I even had Linksys replace the router. Problem still exists. Problem was non-existent before SP2 upgrade. Any recommendations? Should I uninstall SP2?

    Go to your Network connection Properties, Authentication tab and uncheck IEEE authentication. Sometimes this gets checked when you update. Nothing should be checked on that tab.
