Hi,

Welcome to the Community. I recommend you uninstall the Wireless driver, click on start, right click on my computer, click on properties, click on device manager, click on the + symbol next to Network Adapters, right click on Intel 3945 and click on uninstall, click ok to confirm. Restart your computer. Once it restarts click on the below link to reinstall the driver and restart your computer after installation.

Thank you.

Tried that driver and still had the problem. So now I went on the Intel site and tried their recommendation: To  install Pro wireless package version  14.3.0_v32 . Waiting to see if i still have any more issues. So far so good.
