I have a wireless network... why do i get kicked off?
 

I get kicked off every few hours. Not sure why, but ICQ closes, everything closes, it reconnects and everything opens back up within 10 seconds. Only happens on my laptop, and I'm not moving around or anything.

is there any interference near your laptop? cordless phone etc

nope

what kinda card do you have? i had this same prob, and all i could figure was i was using a cheap card. so i took my ass to the comp store and bought the most exspinsive card they had

now i can walk a block from my house (i tested this, were you aware youve got a about a blocks distance?) and still get perfect connection and havent been kicked off sinse

Have you added WEP (encryption) to the connection? If not, do so.

it possibly could be your drivers for the wireless card...mine were fucked up on my desktop machine, and it cause me to drop all the time

what model is the card?

someone near by is using a 2.4ghz cordless phone. I had that problem till I switched to the new 5ghz cordless phones.

yep

Well considering no one lives within 50 yards and I dont own a 2.4 ghz phone... I dont see why someone would sneak into my house and bring their own phone...

Fuck I'll just buy a new laptop

Well believe it or not a 2.4ghz phone with a "leaky signal" (thats what Linksys told me) even at 50 yards could interfere. I shit you not.

Last year that was happening with my neighbor(about 50 feet away). Thankfully I know them well and had them replace their phone. They went with the cheaper 900mgz units. Solved the problem.

It's called SPYWARE

Are you using a Linksys wireless router?

No, its not.

:( yes

Do you use any other ports on that router with hard wiring? If so do you notice the same problems?

I've had that exact same issue with Linksys routers twice now. In both cases it effected both wireless and hard connections.

I've come to the conclusion their wireless router is shit. Replaced it with a D-Link Router, no more problems.

i had the same problem with my wireless router, a linksys
delete your saved zones that store your wep key, disable and reenable your wifi card and reenter your key
should work fine
