Internal WiFi continually drops connection

from WinCustomize Forums

I'm fixing my girlfriend's notebook. It's a Gateway 4025. It has an Intel PRO Wireless 2200BG wireless card. It connects to a D-Link DIR-615 router. Both have the latest drivers and firmware. The Gateway runs Windows XP SP3 with all updates. Yet the notebook drops the connection almost every 5 minutes. Is there a way to solve this besides switching to Linux?

No I don't use bittorrent software.

Is the laptop still staying connected?

Somehow, after messing with some of the adapter's properties, it is.

Don't you just hate it when you fix something as irritating as that and you're not sure exactly how or why you were able to fix it? That kind of shit drives me nutz.

Since you've updated with firmware, that leaves the network card as a major suspect. Another - confused autodetection speeds. You'll find that out by checking her connection speed and the network cards properties.

Glad the problem's solved.
