Root Wifi Tethering

I have been using the wifi tether that comes with apex without problems the last couple of days, however today about halfway through work i noticed it several times dropping to 0.0 kbps even with 4 bars and 3g up. Any one else having problems with it?
 
Not me. I'm wondering if the other programs running are shutting down your wifi. Might I suggest you try to re-initialize WiFi if this happens again? See if it works and let us know.
 
I have been restarting it each time it happens, even tried with Barnacle and i keep getting the same problem, which programs could cause this?
 
I've found that when my programs ping the internet (using il, yahoo, etc) while I'm using wifi, the wifi stops.
 
It happens to me a lot. I simply put the phone into Airplane mode and then immediately turn Airplane mode off. This will reestablish the data connection without too much fuss.
