My Belkin 802.11g Wireless Desktop Network Card keeps dropping its connection. This happens every minute or so at present. Signal strenght to BT Home hub is strong (four bars) and drivers are up to date. Any ideas for a fix or am I best to replace? Tony

you may have to enter the wep address and password manually from the back of the router

there is nothing to do with adapter... you need to check with some other laptop to isolate where is the issue...

if your laptop works fine without dropping connection then get a replacement for your belkin adapter...

if your laptop also looses connection, then you need to check your wireless router...

1. reset your router on factory reset and after try to connect your router, if you get success then you re configure your router agin with IP address 192.178.1.1

Ok, the problem is that you can't connect to YOUR network right? Here's some things that could help you out:

1. Make sure you reset your modem, simply unplug it for a few seconds. Then connect it again, select your network automatically.
2. Make sure your internet provider's servers aren't down.
3. Make sure modem is connected to your router properly.

Hope this helped. Good Luck!

Try to disable the netgear interface and let windows manage the wifi card. This could also be happening if the signal is not strong enough where the machines are.
Is your wifi hub also a netgear? If not it may not be compatible with the cards if that is the case you will need to replace them with diffrent make of the cards preferably the same brand as hub.

hi..
it has been seen that due to some reason the wep key doesnot work...
u can try changing the key type to WPA instead of WEP...
go to the router page and change the security type to WPA instead of WEP..
1 more thing in vista you can use the windows utility only...how come is it possible that you are using the card utility as well..i suggest you to disable the card utility and just use the windows default utility..
vedhick.....let me know if u need steps to change the security type to WPA..

uninstall the bt desk top help first then the bt wireless connection , if ur wireless card has an utility use it to configure . the connection might be due the conflict between the wireless software. checked if ur getting limited or no connectivty if so delte and recreate  the wireless profile, if ur using bt router like home hub or voyager go the router page with the ip for hub its 192.168.1.245 and navigate to advance and keep the wireless channel to 9 or 11  for voyager the its 193.168.1.1

Hi,

I think in your Pc Wireless lancard is disable,Pls enable the wireless lancard,

1. just check the lan card is enbled
example:my network place --right click---properties---wireless lan card,

2. check the R u getting ip address,
example: start---run---cmd----ipconfig

try Static IP address

Hi Emma,
Try these first:

change channels to 1-6-or 11. Make sure you change all of your wireless computers.

check is to make sure you are NOT using "IEEE 802.1x authentication for this network."

You can find at setting under "Wireless Network Connection Properties" and then under "Authentication" tab of your network properties.

This particular authentication method is periodically logging you off the network and re-authenticating.

Check the adapter in device manager to make sure that windows is not shutting the adapter down to save power.

Cordless phones and wireless ethernet cards use overlapping frequencies.As a test, you can unplug the AC cords from all the cordless phones in the area and see if it helps.
Please let me know how you make out.
thanks
