Man, this is starting to get me livid.
We move into our apartment on campus and set up our wireless lan so all 4 of us can have internet. At first it was working great, but then I realized it disconnects me from the internet (not the network) every so often. The signal strength stays the same (very good to excellent signal) and never gets disconnected (no red "x" on the connection icon). Today it has been REALLY often (every 30 seconds to 5 minutes). There are about 9 other networks in the area that I can detect with my Airlink MIMO XR adaptor (thing is a beast, has three antennas), and it detects our network strongest of them all, like it should. My other 3 roommates dont have any problems with their internet disconnecting - but I'm getting it all the time it seems. Right now I'm connected to someones unprotected wireless network with a weak signal, and I haven't had ANY problems with losing the internet. That just pisses me off. I PAY for Road Runner and I can't even connect to it reliably, while I'm stealing someone elses internet and it works perfectly fine! Is there any issues known issues with my card? If this problem is due to interference, or if it's a Road Runner problem, why don't my other roommates get it? I'm about ready to hit up MicroCenter and get a big-ass ethernet cable and run a wire from the cable modem up to my room!
