Hi all,
I have this toshiba satelite laptop behave very strange, It connect to the router and internet, I also have a destop connected to this laptop through the router. It get disconnected after a while and I can't connect it back unless I disconnect the laptop from the router and reconnected back, or reboot.

I also have two other laptops connected to the same router and they doesn't have the problem, Is there any setting in Windows or router could cause this problem?

Thank you in adance.
Paul
 
You may need to flash the router with new firmware or get a new one. What router do you have?
 
This laptop connected to the nexxt solutions router. the thing is other 2 laptops don't have the problem, those also connected to this router. only this laptop. All of them are using windows 7, so I don't think the router is the problem. Thank you.
 
You guys think I should mess around with the driver? It doesn't have any problem itself of connected to the router and internet. only if I try to connect another computer to it using the ip address, it will drop out in a while, and when that happen I have to disconnect it to the router and reconnect in order for other computer to access to it. It still have internet connection while it happen. Well I might give it a try.
Thanks.
 
Try going into the router settings and disabling auto channel selection (Under Wireless settings). That might be worth a try.
 
Got another router running, so I try connected to the other router and it stay connected with other computer, so I leave it there. thanks.
