cannot join, timeout error on SOME devices

HI,

I have a FIOS Actiontec wireless router. I am using WPA2. 

In the last few weeks, a few of my devices suddently cannot access the wireless network while others can. Specifially iPhones and iPads keep the connection, but my AppleTV and Mac lose it. When I try to reconnect on the Mac (the network is still in the list of available networks) the error message is "Could not join [network name]" A connection timeout occured." The AppleTV losses the connection just for a second (so steaming Netflix stops) but picks it up just a few seconds later.

The iPad is WiFi only and I turned off cell data on the iPhone and wifi connection always work on those devices.

Any thoughts on this??

Thanks!

Try changing the wireless channel.  You might be getting interference from a neighbor on the same channel.
