Wireless Connection Keeps Dropping Out

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windows.networking.wireless (More info?)

Hi, I'm Chuck and I'm having a problem with my wireless network card.
I'm using a Linksys 802.11G card in my desktop, and it's connecting to my
Belkin Wireless G router upstairs. I usually have Excellent, or Very Good
Signal Strength, but every now and then (Maybe 3 times an hour) the
connection will drop for 2 seconds completly, then it will be fine. It
interrupts my games, and any downloads that I might have going. Does anybody
know of a way to fix this?

Thanks,
Chuck

Are you using encryption? You might try to makes some configuration
changes to the router side of your wireless network. I was
experiencing the same things in my wireless network to the extent that
even when I pinged one wireless client to another I was getting 25% to
50% packet loss. So I went to the Linksys knownledge base which
discribed a couple transmission parameters within the router to change
which has given me a more stable connection. Last, is that I
understand signal interference is a big thing. Phones, microwaves,
etc. could cause your disconnects. So try a difference channel for your
network.
