wireless disconnect

Please help me. I am very new at this whole thing but once connected to a network, my signal fades and disconnects me within a few minutes. What can I do?

Thanks

How far are you from the router when this happens?  If you're near the edge of the router's range, your connection will drop out from time to time.  How strong is your signal when you do get connected?

I just got off the phone with Dell Support.  I had the exact same problem.  You'll need to reinstall your driver.  Right click on My Computer, click on Properties, Hardware, and then Device Manager.  Then click on the plus sign next to Network Adapters and then right click your wireless network connection (mine was Intel Pro/Wireless 2200BG).  Then click Unistall.  Then reboot your computer.  During the reboot your computer will automatically reinstall the driver.  Afterwards you might want to update your driver as well.  Mine worked without updating the driver.

I would like to recomend that you also go into the network device properties and make sure its transmit is set up to full and you might turn off the power saver to avoid the problem of no connection when on battery.
