Hi! I have an HP8610 printer that was having the same problem. What was causing the problem of disconnection was the wireless router being in one room and the printer was in another room further away. The signal was being weakened by having to travel through walls, various furniture, other electronic devices, etc. to get to the printer. Sometimes the signal from the service provider was stronger on some days than others. My solution was to remove any possible interference of the signal to the printer. I relocated the router closer to the printer, such that the signal didn't have to travel through 2-3 walls, and reduced any other obstacles. I also relocated the printer from the corner of the room, to a more open area to allow the signal easier access to the printer. After I made these simple changes, I did not experience any further disconnections. I hope this helps you.
Adjust the brightness setting. The brightness control (marked by ) is under the right front edge of the display.
Calibrate the monitor using the Calibrate option in the Monitors control panel.
The
flickering could be caused by interference from a nearby power line, a
fluorescent light, or an electrical device for example, a radio, a
microwave oven, or another computer. Try relocating nearby electrical
devices, or moving your computer and display.
There are a few things that cause a normally silent fan to get noisy.
Dust building up - Unlikely, but check. Clean if necessary.
Some internal wiring brushing against the trailing edge of the fan blades - Likely only if the case was recently opened. Re-open and check, relocate the wiring if necessary.
The fan is getting ready to fail - Most likely. Replace the fan. If you have an unused computer, pull a fan out of that one to use. New fans are available for under $20.00 USD .
This replacement is very easy.

Remove old fan, put new one in.

Don't wait until it fails, though. A cool computer is a happy computer.
Turn the unit off and disconnect from your computer, take all the cartridges out and plug the unit back in, The selectors inside should relocate themselves, unplug it once again and re-insert the cartridges, restart your computer[just in case], plug it all back in and retry, if that does not work; reply.
DSL line. Possible that filters are not plugged in.
When DSL service is being used on your line, filters must be installed at every jack that is in use. The DSL signal can cause static/noise, squealing (similar to fax tones) and other issues on your line. (ex. Caller ID problems).
In order to avoid having this issue, the service provider gives DSL filters to all customers when they sign up for service. These microfilters must be used because they allow your phones to work properly by blocking the high frequency DSL signals from being transmitted through the telephones. DSL filters should be plugged into EVERY phone jack that has a phone. If you are not using the filters provided by the telephone company, this will cause static/noise and possibly Caller ID issues on your phones that are plugged into jacks without filters. Please contact your service provider for filter information and proper installation.

Interference from microwave. Microwaves work on the same frequencies as the 2.4 GHz phones. If the unit is on when the microwave is running, it is normal to experience static at that time. Do not plug this phone in the same outlet or near the microwave.
Environmental. Normal radio operation. There may be places within your environment that a cordless phone will not work well. If the problem only occurs in certain areas of your environment, there is nothing wrong with the phone. Try channing channels.
Surge protector or modem. Unplug modem or surge protector that is connected to the unit.
Building structure limits range.
