Suggestions please Inspiron 6400 with Vista. Wifi working this minute but liikely to drop any time. New rooter. Told could be the wifi switch being too sensitive. Wifi ok on other laptops
 
Frequent dropping of signal can be caused by using a busy wireless channel that's being used by other people in your street.
Go into the router's web-based configuration utility and change the channel. You might have to experiment with different channels to get a reliable connection.
