    Hello, I'm very accustomed to using my M1330 without a power bar and after all, this is supposed to be a portable device. However, recently I'm using it at home a lot more often and I've noticed that wireless goes unstable the moment I plug it into my power bar. For some reason, the connection between my Dlink DIR-625 (n-draft2.0) router isn't stable. After a solid connection establishes for less than 10 seconds, the connection will fail and it will take another 2-3 mins before it can be re-established for another 10 seconds. I did an experiment by simply unplugging my powerbar and after just 1 min everything returned to normal. Does anyone know why this happens and how to fix this issue?
