Hardware issue? Maybe but I doubt as all runs fine as long as I disable security....

i would try swapping/exchanging your hardware.... i have had troubles but never with my android phones

Have you tried updating or just considered that it might be an issue with Android?

I've always found it it odd that the router get's the blame when someone say's "I have all these different devices connecting fine, except for X, so it's the router's fault." Maybe X is the issue.

@Guz: If you read the intial post you would have seen:
1- old LinkSys runs excellent
2- problem presists on 6 different phones in various Android versions

Finally after 3 months we figured out the problem... and seem to have solved it.

One of our HP laptops got a new WIFI Driver update... and now all the Android phone on the network keep their connection!!

Appearantly the ASUS is more sensitive than older routers for the behaviour of bad behaving WIFI clients...

It is still puzzling us why we did not found this solution earlier. It seems that even after the HP laptop was shut down, the problem persisted for a while, hence not giving us the clue that the problem might indeed be there... Dont know... but .. end result is connection stability for all devices
