Are there any sources of interference nearby, like 2.4 Ghz cordless phones or Microwave ovens? If so, try changing the channel used by the router to one of the extremes (1 or 11). Is Windows managing the wireless connection or are you using the utility that came with the wireless network adapter? Try changing which one manages the connectin and see if that eliminates the problem. Are there any other wireless networks in your area that may be interfering? If so, again, chaning the router channel may help, or removing the other wireless network from the list of preferred wireless networks may help.

I have the same problem. I have tried every channel on the router, disconnected phones etc...

Ok I did some more testing and firgure, at least I think I did, that I get the disconnection when windows refresh the list of available wireless. I get the exact same disconnection when I do a manual refresh of the wireless network list. Is there a way to disable that option in windows?

Thanks

Thanks for the advice, but Im still having this problem.

I only have one network in the Prefered network, but there also another network showing that is not mine that is coming in when I'm not connected to any network, that network seem to be come in & out.

I have tried changing channel, using WPA, WPE or no security, and none of thoses option affects the problem.  Tried putting the network on demand still didnt work.

I also notice that my Signal goes from Good, Very Good to excellent quite alot, and the speed alternate beetween 24mbps & 56mbps.

I'm out of idea, except to go back to wired :/

Thanks

Open the wireless connection windows by clicking on the wireless network icon in the system and selecting "View Available wireless networks". Then click on "Change the order of preferred wireless networks". For each network listed is that is not your network, select it and then click on the Remove button. See if that prevents it from seeing the other networks. You might also want to make sure your wireless network is secure (especially if the other networks are not secure) by adding security features in your router and configuring any computer that connects to the router to be consistent with the security settings.

Hi There,

I also posted a message earlier about the same issue.

The problem is with USB wireless devices, if you do a ping to your router

ping -t 192.168.1.1

you'll see whole bunch of replies then timeout, those timeouts will get
you dropped out of your game. There is probably nothing you could do
about it, I have tried Linksys USB wireless and the same thing happens.
I have a friend who had similar problems, he told me the only USB wireless
card that works is an old one made by Microsoft, but I can't seem finding it.

I recommend you buy a PCI Wireless Card, I have a Linksys PCI WMP11 and
it works pretty well.

Good Luck,
Houman
