    Hey guys, I have TP-Link WR340G wireless router connected to a switch to give wireless internet in my home.

    Now the problem is that when I use Windows 7 (x64) I get no internet connectivity after 5 or 6 hours, but I am connected with the router. And when I couple my Local Area Connection to Wireless Network Connection into a Network Bridge, I am reconnected to the internet. And again, after similar length of time I have to delete the Network bridge to re-establish my Internet connectivity. The drivers are not Faulty and my Wireless card is standard Intel Pro 3945ABG in Dell Inspiron 1520 and I experience no such problem using Ubuntu or XP.

    Have you updated the driver? or are you using the standard one that comes with the OS?

    I installed an updated driver, then uninstalled it and used the OS driver and then updated that driver using windows update, but to no avail.

    do you lose all connectivity to Internet resources? Email, web browsing, file-sharing (if you do this), IM?
