I am cross posting this to both the Tablet PC and Wireless newsgroups - not
sure which is most appropriate.
My Gateway M1300 connects via wireless to a Linksys WRT54G wireless router.
I've found that the connection will drop, all of the sudden, and the router
can not be found. Then after a few minutes, or seconds, it will re-establish
a connection. Sometimes it won't and I have to reboot the router.
Now, this has occurred with and without SP2 installed. Prior to implementing
the WRT54G, I had a 1st gen Linksys wireless router (BEF11W???) which also
displayed the same behavior. In fact, that's why I replaced it with the
WRT54G - thought it was a defective router.
Interestingly, my Dell laptop (Win2K, using a Microsoft wireless 802.11 B/G
PC card) also has the same behavior, whether it was with the old or new
Linksys router. But I rarely use the Dell at home, so my focus is on the
M1300.
I think that a recent Windows update, or some common software to both the
Dell and the Gateway, or maybe even a router configuration issue, may be the
root of the problem.
I seem to recall reading somewhere that a Windows hotfix caused a similar
issue.
Ideas?
Thanks,
David
