[SOLVED] Network disconnects while playing

Hi all.
I have a problem that started happening a few days ago, and so far I couldn't find a solution online.
This is my setup:
Router: Bewan iBox C5200 (http://www.bewan.eu/produit.php?page=produit&parm1=bw-iboxc5200)
PC: LG laptop
TV: Samsung UE37C5100 connected via LAN to a different router
Different router: Linksys WRT54GL with custom firmware by DD-WRT which enables it to be in client mode.

So the streaming process is like this: PC <wifi> Bewan router <wifi> Linksys router <lan> TV
This worked perfectly for about a month - I could watch full length movies in 1080p without giving it a second thought.
Last week I started to get during random intervals, but always while watching a movie, a message on the TV: "Network disconnected".
The message disappears after few seconds, and then it send me back to the folder I played the movie from.
I can immediately play the same file again or any other - but the problem still occurs.
I should mention the length or the format of the file makes no difference.

Attached is a LOG snapshot in DEBUG mode during one of these errors.
Can anyone help me? This drives me nuts! :D

Thanks in advance,
Shai.

you're going through 2 wifi networks, there is a possibility of connection problems. Possibly you're sharing the same wifi channel with neighbours?

I'll try to change the channel and let you know if it helps :)

try to google for tools that will scan your wifi neighborhood and tell you which channels are less used

Well, after few hours of movie watching - I can gladly declare that changing channel (from Automatic to 9) worked!
Thanks a lot, I really appreciate your help :)
