    Is anybody else experiencing this?

    Whenever the Eee 1000H is in use, the wireless connection will occasionally disconnect, usually after prolonged use of about 2-4 hours. The fix is rather simple, just requiring disabling and then re-enabling the wireless connection, but this is a pretty annoying problem that shouldn't be happening.

    I'm just wondering if anybody else is suffering from this issue and whether there's a fix - I'm using the latest BIOS for the 1000H and I've already set the Power Saving Mode to CAM...to no avail.

    Any help would be very much appreciated...thanks!

    I have not noticed this with my 1000H - and I'm connecting to whatever cheapie routers the Army uses here. Biggest question though, is this happening to just your 1000H or also to other systems?

    I've had this problem - except every 12 hours not 4 - with my computers in Maine but not the same machines here in Florida and I've come to believe it's the ISP. My theory is it has to do with the DNS and the address given to the machine from the ISP; for some reason our routers are not dynamically updating when the ISP assigns a new address. This is theory only (I know just enough about networking to be dangerous) but if it's on a fixed schedule it's doubtful it would be a hardware problem, although it could be an issue with the hardware settings. Try calling your ISP and see what they say about it.
