    Hi guys,
    I'm having a problem with my Aspire notebook:
    I recently moved and after connecting to a wireless router, the light on my notebook keeps blinking. It connects/dc's randomly and overall I'm experiencing a much slower speed. I tried the same computer over at a friends with his router, and same problem, it'll start blinking.
    The blinking never used to happen before, and even now there will be brief periods where the light is stable and internet speeds improve during this time period. For the life of me I can't work out why its blinking in the first place. Tried everything from moving closer to the router (or different routers like I mentioned).
    I'm using xp with an Intel 3945BG wireless card. Could someone please tell me why its blinking, and also how to stop it blinking and 'stabilise' my connection.
    Help highly appreciated!!! :eek:

    I've just got over this problem with my laptop, maybe the solution will work for yours, check 'Deegame's' answer in the post titled: "5920g wifi problem"
