Losing wireless connection randomly

Calibretto · 05-20-2008, 01:02 AM

I keep losing internet connectivity usually about every 10 minutes. It says I'm still connected though in the system tray. I've noticed that packets are being sent but not received. To reconnect, I simply disconnect, then reconnect. Wait about 10 minutes and it will lose connectivity. My mom's PC on the other land doesn't lose connectivity so it has to be my wireless. My wireless router is a D-Link DI-624 and my wireless adapter is a D-Link DWL-G120.

Please help me

how old is your wireless system and how far away are you from the router??

Calibretto · 05-20-2008, 01:16 AM

It's not that old and I'm close enough...

Have same router with the same problem you have. Try changing channels. I had many issues do to neighbors all having wireless. Ended up buying a better router D_link 4300 which works GREAT.

Do you have any other devices running at 2.4ghz in the house? Interference from those devices can lead to dropped connections.

Cali....I;m having the same exact problem. My internet works fine and all that then it starts slowing down to a crawl, and finally it disconnects. I have to unplug and replug the router for it to start again. I'm going to try changing the channels right now.

btw, i have the cheapest belkin we couuld find on amazon
