Yes i had the same problem, do you have windows xp? if so you need to
turn off 802.1x authentication. how when you NIC tryies to connect to
the router it tryies to get authenticated by the router and if you
dont have this setup it will no connect to it. I've disabled this and
I havent had a disconect sence.
Let me know if it does anything.
