Which device (manufacturer, type)?
Motorola Droid RAZR
Which firmware is installed?
173, 2.3.5
What version of wireless tether are you using?
Latest Download_v3_1-beta11
What steps will reproduce the problem?
1.Turning on Wifi Tether
2.Browsing Internet using a laptop, PS3 or Nook
3.Sudden loss of connection entirely or of Internet connectivity on WiFi Tether 
but not on device

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Expected is constant connection with no interruption of signal, instead I see 
the app still running but all devices connected are unable to connect to the 
Internet.
Please provide any additional information below.
I've been lurking and trying to find a fix for this problem since I picked up 
the phone. There are times when suddenly it will work for hours on end without 
an interruption, but most of the time this is not the case. As a further 
explanation: After running the app and turning on WiFi tethering, the 
connection is stable and strong for a seemingly random amount of time until it 
suddenly and without any kind of warning simply stops. Sometimes the device(s) 
connected continue to stay connected to the RAZR but are unable to access the 
Internet, sometimes the SSID simply stops broadcasting. This seems to become 
more frequent when doing any kind 'strenuous' activity such as going to 
Speedtest.net and testing ping/download speed or downloading a file over 10MB, 
or even loading multiple tabs at the same time. Internet connectivity on the 
device itself seems completely unaffected, to the point that the SpeedTest app 
regularly shows a strong and low latency connection immediately after the 
laptop is unable to establish a connection. Turning off WiFi tether and turning 
it back on immediately rectifies this issue until it occurs again, generally 
about 5-10 minutes later (though sometimes in as little as 2 minutes).

Unable to edit post: The connection Via PS3 was really more of a test to see if 
maybe my other devices were just tripping out.
