Wifi Disconnection-restarting computer to connect

After installing my Nighthawk 6-Stream Wireless Router I have experience a problem I did not experience with my former wireless router.  At least once a day I have to restart my computer to recover a connection.  This is the only way to recover my connection.  If I try to reconnect in my network settings it will not connect.  I believe this is a possible driver issue.  I did not have this problem until I installed this router so I know that my computer is not the problem.  Anybody experience this?
