    Hey guys, wondering if any of you would be able to help me with a little problem I've been having for the past few weeks.
    Basically my wireless connection has been dropping very frequently, I'd have to disable and re-enable the adapter or simply click on the connections list to reconnect.
    I know that It's got nothing to do with the range as I'm right next door to the router. I've re-installed, un-installed and re-installed the drivers again and again but to no avail. I've changed the channel on the router a few times and that doesn't seem to have much effect either :(

    The wireless card I have in this thing is the stock intel wifi link 1000 bgn. I'm still unsure whether it's the laptop or the router since my U33 has had no problems with other routers, but my PC (which is also wireless) doesn't have any problems with this router :\

    I'm going to blame your router, mostly because I know the intel cards are solid, and you havn't told use the type of router you're using.

    Maybe your router is at fault, or you have a lot of interference from other networks, or maybe the card's antenna cables fell off? :p
