It would help to know which model computer you have, which version of Windows you are running, and the make and model of the wireless network card? Have you checked the power management settings on the network card to make sure it is not set to power down after a period of inactivity?
I have an inspiron 5150 lap top with windows xp. My internet card is an airlink 802.11g adapter. I always have an excellent signal since I am bout 20 ft at the most away from the modem.
Again, have you checked the power management settings for the network adapter to make sure that it is not set to power down after a period of inactivity? Do you have any sources of interference in your area, like 2.4 Ghz cordless phones or microwave ovens?
