I actually had to return this computer as the battery wouldn't hold a charge. Sorry I can't help with your question.

Wait for the firmware update, which should be released soon, and it should solve the WIFI dropping problem.

Hi Samuel! I really can't think of any other solutions, but maybe resetting your router? Try that and see what happens. Sometimes resetting can help in most situations! Like, I said I don't have any issues with it, though! If that don't help just ask around to see what works! Hope that helps!

Paul, Appreciate the input. But, that's not it. It's been connected to the wireless network the whole time. Any other ideas? Anybody?

I reset my router about once a week to resolve this problem.I don't believe it's the net book at fault but something to do with the router taking a break from it's work. Sometimes my cable company disconnects which is when i reset their connection also. I love this machine by the way... fabulous value for the money.

Try uninstalling everything and reinstall. Also check your wireless connection and make sure there's a signal.

Just disconnect the Skyport and reinsert. This will reboot and should reconnect to wi fi.

Do you lose internet connection when under heavy load (streaming movies, transferring files, etc?). On the old firmware version, I had problems with the router cutting out when the wireless connection was under heavy load and requiring a reboot. The newer firmware certainly helps, but sometimes it happens. I know it's the wireless flaking out because the wired ethernet ports work fine. Definitely try Kevin's suggestion first. Belkin has been pretty good technically when it comes to support. If the modem has internet connection, but the router doesn't, I would make sure the cable between the router and the modem is okay.

My WIFI used to reset frequently, it was very annoying, almost unusable. I believe this started to happen after the latest driver update because before that it was just OK. I couldn't figure out what was wrong with the computer, followed all recommendations on all websites and nothing. Then I found that my router was transmitting the same SSID for 2.4Ghz and 5Ghz, decided to change the SSID on one of them and voila... all problems gone.

I not not sure what the problem is but it could have something to do with where and I using the internet. I had no problems when I was at home but I have recently connected to a hotel internet signal during my stay with them and it get the same error. When plugged the ethernet cable in it worked fined. This leaves me to believe either my wireless board is fried, firmware has been lost, or the hotel has some sort of internet filter that prevents devices like Roku and Play Stations to drain their bandwidth.

wifi problem was solved by following instructions and downloading the updated drivers for the NIC. If you can not do that then buy a 10 dollar usb NIC and problem solved. I bought my laptop last feb 14th for my wife and she loves it, the problem is not the router but the brand of network adaptor in the laptop and the maker put out new drivers that fix the reported problem. hope this helps

Thanks, If I can get/keep a connection I'll try downloading the driver. Already did the power saver. No luck for me there.

We've had similar issues where we keep losing wireless connection. Worked great for about a month then started giving us intermittent issues. Have tried many times to remedy but still having issues. Not a happy customer. One thing that worked intermittently was unplugging the unit for a minimum of 30 minutes then powering it back on. Sometimes, only sometimes, does that allow it to connect back to the network.

I bought my WRT54G router back in October. Hooked it up to a desktop running on Windows XP and a laptop running wireless with Windows Vista. Without fail practically every moth since purchase, I will lose the wireless connection and end up having to call Linksys. They do walk me through correcting the problem, but this takes an hour, hour and a half out of my day every time it happens. I've heard all kinds of stories from the Linksys techs as to why this keeps happening, but bottom line... I'm looking for a new router.

exact same problem here. strangely, changing the channel of the wifi (manually) fixes the problem. that is a workaround but i don't want to work around... any ideas?

turning off wifi might help, but this seems similar to the issue I had (faulty battery). I bought a replacement and it's fine now.

I bought this for my wife. It went straight to wifi and seems to run fine. What kind of trouble are you having? I will help if I can
