Most common reason for this that I see is that others are using my wireless channel. If you're using the router with out-of-the-box settings, the default is typically channel 11. So, everyone else in your neighborhood who has a wireless router is probably using channel 11. The signal strength may appear high, but the competing broadcasts on the same channel will confuse your remote device (laptop). Suggestion 1: Change the channel to anything but 11. Suggestion 2: Download "Network Stumbler" for a map of all the wireless networks in your neighborhood and the channels they are using. Then pick a channel that your neighbors aren't using.

Hope ur using a normal SOHO router..
I guess wired part of the network is still fine.
Try these....
1. Check for interferences in the network(Cordless phones, Aquarium, Microwave ovens....)
2. Decrease the MTU size in the router to 1492
3. Upgrade the firmware on the router
4. Try to increase the power management, throughput enhancement in the wireless adapter of the computers
5. Try to change the mode in the wireless of the router(G & B)

depends on what was causing the problem. There are some high power access point unit out there. This will ensure a strong signal broadcast from your router. If it's the receiver that cause the problem, you may want to switch to a bigger receiver that has a regular antenna instead of those thumb-size receiver. Some unit will allow you to swap the antenna to some high gain antenna.

This could be of EMI(Electromagenetic Inferfaces). Anything electrical or wireless electronics could interrupt your connection. While online, stay away from mobile phones, microwaves, etc. Happy surfing my friend!!

check for the signal strength if its very low..it may cause the intermitent connection...try checking the placement of your wireless router to the other pc...consider all aspect that will degrade the signal of your wireless...like the structure of the building or house..any radio interferance my degrade the signal.
hope this help you.

when this happens, turn computer off. then unplug all cords. check that when you plug them back in-about 30 seconds. if you have any red lights blinking or stays red you have modem problems. contact from whom you got it. i had all kinds of problems from at&t-i went through 4 modems until they found out there was a short in my phone line. they came out 4 times. finally fixed and another 2wire modem was sent to me. best bet after 1st thing i told you call company.
