I have a wireless network as well and sometimes have a few disconnection problems, but very few. It can one of many factors. How far away is the problematic computer from the router? Do you have a cordless phone that could possibly interfer with the network(I have had this problem.) I have also found that pointing the antenaes that transmit and recieve towards your intended computer helps. My router has to go through brick walls and a floor into my room in the basement, so I have found little things that makes a difference. Hope this helps, I am by no means of a network professional, just learning from experience. More info on your setup would be nice as well.

One other thing you might want to double check is to make sure you have the lastest firmware updates for your router. I once had this problem and after I updated the firmware there were no longer disconnects. Check your routers home site for these updates. My router was a linksys.

linksys is mine as well. Great router IMO.
