Hello , I am not an expert and have been through quite a few rounds with the
'Linksys' wireless connection issues all over the place ha . And I really
enjoy this network . I have cable / High Speed Digital hooked to a wireless
router . The router serves a printer and of course 1 pc . My I.S.P. suggested
'LAN' for default rather than 'Cable' for the connection . I also turned
'off' the SP2 Windows Firewall and still using an Anti-Virus with personal
firewall turned 'on' , and now the wireless connection time is permanent .
You can enable a balloon to pop up when there is even a slight signal change
.. Acts a an alert to remind user of the wireless connections current status .
Appears just a few times per day . To set this , place cursor on wireless
icon / Right click / View Available Wireless Networks / General 'tab' /
select ' Change advanced settings / check both boxes which will be at the
bottom of that window . Also , in this window , 'Client for Microsoft' 'File
and Printer Sharing for MS' ' QoS Packet Scheduler' ' Internet Protocal
(TCP/IP). I have all checked but not sure which is neccessary to have checked
.. Try highlighting each and click the 'Properties button and view the status
.. This may raise more questions . But the more we know about the wireless ...
the better for next time we get lost . I will check back and try to help .
