The fix for this is to install the latest version of VZAccess from www.vzam.net.. After it runs let it update your SIM cards IMS settings to the latest. It should work without disconnects now. If it prompts you to update the firmware, DO IT. Then reboot. Please do this at least once on Windows because the firmware update only runs on Windows. Then you can reboot and install the latest version of VZAccess on Mac if you are using a Mac.
Also try changing the wireless channel of the router and or bringing the wireless device closer to the router. make sure there are no electronic devices causing EMI near the computer or router.
