Okay so, Currently router is set to channel 1, however this is cluttered with 10+ devices so the strength fluctuates. How do I change my channel on my router - but not the routers channel (I dont want the other devices following me!) Thanks Chris

Well i restarted and it was sorta okay - but I booted up and it literally took 45 minutes to open internet and a poker game... Any ideas why this would happen? Cheers

Windows xp home edition, Samsung n510... 45 minutes for a program to open from boot... Please help?

Okay so Malware scan found 2 items, none of which are the file I am referring to (an iTunes related file and some adware). So basically it enable it to get a connection then it disables it once one is made (it is no longer needed once connected) the only issue is when the router dies, and then it cannot find a connection so I must re enable it and find one, and then disable again. Though this is day 3 without a disconnect which is good!

It's called 'Wireless fiXP' it's from a trusted source (Overclockers & many other websites suggest it), all it does (I believe) is run the script to enable (to gain a connection) and once one is obtained it disables it (to stop the issue) - Per google results the Wireless Zero configuration causes wireless to randomly drop out - though I am not sure of the reasons why. I have Avast/Windows defender and another Spyware/Malware program installed on my PC so I would hope it would pick it up.

No updates are available, or any exclamation marks. I have disabled and re enabled Windows Zero configuration, and since then I have had no issues. If I do start having any issues again I shall borrow my girlfriends USB adapter and test that out, Thank you for your help!

Thank you, for my own knowledge, what led you to this conclusion? Also, my wireless adapter is built into my laptop, is there anyway of fixing this?

It was down when I started the test, and up when it finished - if you need a rerun let me know - here it is: Windows IP Configuration Host Name . . . . . . . . . . . . : Chris Primary Dns Suffix . . . . . . . : Node Type . . . . . . . . . . . . : Unknown IP Routing Enabled. . . . . . . . : No WINS Proxy Enabled. . . . . . . . : No Ethernet adapter Wireless Network Connection: Connection-specific DNS Suffix . : Description . . . . . . . . . . . : Realtek RTL8192E Wireless LAN 802.11n PCI-E NIC Physical Address. . . . . . . . . : B4-82-FE-D1-EB-68 Dhcp Enabled. . . . . . . . . . . : Yes Autoconfiguration Enabled . . . . : Yes IP Address. . . . . . . . . . . . : 192.168.1.11 Subnet Mask . . . . . . . . . . . : 255.255.255.0 Default Gateway . . . . . . . . . : 192.168.1.1 DHCP Server . . . . . . . . . . . : 192.168.1.1 DNS Servers . . . . . . . . . . . : 192.168.1.1 192.168.1.1 Lease Obtained. . . . . . . . . . : 25 January 2013 18:25:40 Lease Expires . . . . . . . . . . : 26 January 2013 18:25:40 Ethernet adapter Local Area Connection: Media State . . . . . . . . . . . : Media disconnected Description . . . . . . . . . . . : Marvell Yukon 88E8040 PCI-E Fast Ethernet Controller Physical Address. . . . . . . . . : 00-24-54-89-88-A6 Ethernet adapter Bluetooth Network: Media State . . . . . . . . . . . : Media disconnected Description . . . . . . . . . . . : Bluetooth LAN Access Server Driver Physical Address. . . . . . . . . : 50-63-13-CD-60-62 The following command was not found: wlan show networks mode=bssid.

Hi all, I am new to the forum so I am not sure what you will need to know to diagnose the issue. My internet randomly drops (convniently when I have lots of money on a poker hand...) and reconnects very shortly after. I am using Wifi, I have an 'Excellent' connection to it, I am using Windows XP, It only happens to my laptop - my phone, desktop, ipad all work okay whilst I have the issue. Please ask for any information you require to solve this issue, Thanks Chris
