Title: Computer help
Post by: RED-DOG on April 30, 2007, 12:04:19 PM
Just lately, my lappy has been disconnecting from the router for a few seconds. it only does it once a day, and usually within the first hour.

If Mrs Red is using her lappy at the same time, she doesn't disconnect.

Any ideas?

I assume ur wireless.  If its just the once early and then reconnects and stays reconnected then I wouldnt worry too much although it may be the start of your wireless adaptor starting to wane.  Try a new adaptor if its really bothersome

Exactly that scenario. How do I "Try a new adaptor" Can I do it with a hammer and chisel?

Borrow, beg, steal one.

Or as a last resort, buy one..
PC card: http://www.ebuyer.com/UK/product/120669  £10
USB: http://www.ebuyer.com/UK/product/115832  £9

You'll need to go into device manager and disable your current wirless (or if there is a switch / button on your laptop to enable/disable the wireless use that). Then install the new adapter like the instructions say.
Is your current wireless built into the laptop or is it a card or usb?

As soon as I mentioned the chisel it stopped playing up, then this morning it said "Come on if you think you're hard enough!"
