I connected my windows laptop to the wireless network, it worked ok, but kept dropping the signal, even when i moved to right beside the router. I connected my mac and the wireless signals works fine but the laptop will not connect wirelessly at all. It works fine when wired. Firewall settings are low.
If other wireless hosts are connecting to the wireless router with no problem, and the windows laptop intermittently connects, then this seems to indicate a problem with the wireless card in your windows laptop. If the device is still under warranty, it should not be a problem to contact the laptop vendor and have it replaced.

SolutionLog onto the web-based admin tool of the router. Click on Tools at the top, then Misc. on the left menu.. set the following:
UPNP Settings = Disabled Gaming Mode = Disabled PPTP = Disabled IPSec = Disabled On the computer where the connection is being lost.. go to your network connections, right-click on the wireless connection and view its properties. Under the authentication tab, you should see a check-box option for Enable IEEE 802.1x authentication for this network - UNCHECK IT!!
Or
Change the Super G mode setting of the router to Super G without Turbo. By doing this, the connection will be stable.

My Westell modem was just replaced by a GT704WG. I've had wireless connections all week when working at my desk where the router is - less than 6 inches away. I just realized that since I moved the router several FEET away the wirless connection is now fine. I don't understand this, but it was a simple fix.

I don't know a solution but the router will appear in the list along with neighboring routers but it will disappear and the others will still be there so it's not an adapter problem something in the router stops sending a signal
