Hi. I am getting these short random disconnects with the wireless
connections for the Internet. Some of the disconnections last mostly a
second to rare five seconds. I can be online for 30 minutes just fine
or a few hours. The disconnects vary. It doesn't appear to rely on time
of the day (even when people are sleeping) or the weather (rain or
shine).
It doesn't seem to matter which operating systems (Windows XP Pro. SP1
and SP2, and 2000) and hardwares (Linksys, Netgear, Belkin, etc.) used.
It doesn't appear to be a distance problem (very good to low signals)
either since it happens one floor below the WAP and a couple rooms away
on the same floor. When I am downloading, the speed is usually
consistence. Channels doesn't seem to matter even on others' WAPs (saw
about 15-20 APs via NetStumbler).
I read the Broadband Reports' wireless forum's FAQ:
http://www.broadbandreports.com/faq/11298 but IEEE 802.1x authentication
greyed out and unchecked so I assume it is disabled. I tried disabling
wireless zero configuration in XP SP2 when connected that someone
suggested, but that didn't help at all.
Also, is there a way to extend the time out periods from disconnections
in Windows? I would like to set the time outs to a minute during
disconnections.
Thank you in advance.
