Start, control panel, device manager. Click on Network and then right click on your network adapter, left click properties, power management. Uncheck the box, allow computer to turn off this device to save power.
Go to the power options, and changed the Wireless Adapter Setting, from Maximum Power Setting to Maximum Performance.
You probably have these settings but you can try reading...
Next step would be the type of security you're using in your wireless router and the channel. If you're not sure, you can run Network Interface and post that information back here.
The only things I hadn't tried in your last response were in the article at the end of your post. So far, changing the default settings of my router seems to have fixed my connectivity issues altogether. I guess the issue was after all how my router (Comcast) was broadcasting its signal, rather than my initial theory that the wireless card was going on the fritz. Thanks for all your help!

Joel,
Everything looks decent.
Try these tweaks....

Hi Rick,
The only things I hadn't tried in your last response were in the article at the end of your post. So far, changing the default settings of my router seems to have fixed my connectivity issues altogether. I guess the issue was after all how my router (Comcast) was broadcasting its signal, rather than my initial theory that the wireless card was going on the fritz. Thanks for all your help!
Best,
Joel
