Default wireless network keeps loosing connection


I have a Dell Windows XP PC with a Dell wireless USB adaptor and Belkin
router. When PC is first booted automatically connects to wireless network
(WEP enabled) but then after about 5/10 minutes the wireless connection
drops. Have checked the power save option for the adaptor and it is disabled.
Windows is configured to manage to the wireless network.

Any suggestions much appreciated

Default RE: wireless network keeps loosing connection

This was ONE problem of many I had setting up my wireless network. In my
case, pressing the reset button on the router did it. Make sure you know all
the settings, or saved it before doing the reset.

If not zero, try it.

Hi
1. Make sure that your SSID is broadcasting.
2. Try few different Wireless Channels.
