Intermittent loss of Internet (Wireless)

[feroze_iyer]

I have just purchased a FE21M - all good except every so often I lose internet connectively through the wireless network. The WLAN connection is stable at 54.0, and the situation is remedied by toggling the WLAN a couple of times to restart the connection. Does anyone have any ideas why I am losing the connection? (I don't think it's anything to do with my ISP because I have no such problems on another machine)

Thanks,

Feroze:smileyhappy:

Hi Feroze and welcome to ClubVaio.

Have you tried increasing the Performance of your WiFi card to Maximum?

Start>Right-click on My Computer>Properties>Device Manager

Expand Network Devices and double click on your wireless adapter, Under Power Options choose Maximum Performance,

That's how I fixed loss of WiFi on my FE21H however it wasn't under Power Options rather Power Management (pictured below).

Have you windows XP? Have you tried installing Service Pack 2 it helps with wireless devices and makes it easier to connect. And it also offer greater stability.

Try a Belkin M Router,shit hot piece of kit.

Another possible remedy could be to change the channel your router and card uses to a lower frequency, sometimes this can also increase signal range too
