HELP ME W/ WIRELESS PLZ!

To Whom It May Concern,
     I have spent countless useless hours talking with tech support and this is my last straw! I Have a Linksys router and a brand new expensive XPS 1210 (with Vista Home Premium and an intel wireless card ).  Whenever I connect to the wireless internet I have major issues. If I use google maps, download any larger files, or go to the wrong page it knocks out my router (even the hardwire on other computers)! I have to do a hard reset to get it to work again. Dell and Linksys both couldnt help me! Anyone? Please? :smileymad: I spent alot of money to get the best of everything in my comp and now my wireless is having problems! Grrr!
 
P.S. I also am unable to connect to a friends router when sitting right next to her getting perfect signal?

Wow, thanks, Akule.
 
I followed these steps from the msn forum posted by "Anonymous" and the wifi is working perfectly now on our M1210.  I'm not really sure if my router was restarting.  I suspected it was because another wireless device was losing connectivity at the same time, but the leds on the router looked normal the whole time.  I'm just glad I got the laptop working correctly:
If you go to "manage network connection" and view the properties of the "local area connection", you will see that many items listed under "this connection uses the following items" and one of them is "internet protocol version 4". I uninstalled "link-layer topology discovery mapper i/o driver", "link-layer topology discovery responder", "QoS Packet Scheduler", and unchecked "internet protocol version 6". after done this, i never have router restarted issue anymore. hope this help.
