    Internet disconnection

    Over the last 5 or 6 wks my wireless router is disconnecting from my laptop, i go through the usual routine of resetting the router. this happens maybe twice 3 time a day. This all began about 6wks ago when there was a fault in the area. That said, it happened before i posted this message, but it just so happens that it didn't disconnect from the skyplayer on the XBOX. Any thoughts before i fone virgin.

    What make/model of router? But sounds like an issue with laptop not the router.

    Have you tried anything with laptop? Will need to know operating system ect

        Things i would do are :

        Reset router to factory default (using the reset button on back)
        Reset al router security once done.
        Connect with laptop.
        Monitor.
        If still persists, look at network drivers (google your make and model of laptop and you will find them)
        If still persists, maybe change channel of wireless.

        After that, you could start looking at rolling back the operating system or a format see if that cures it.

        It could be that the wireless adapter has become faulty and might need to get a new 1
