having problem with my wireless connection

[HERO_1984]

well the last couple of days my wireless connection just stops working, after opening the wireless network connection than properties what i notice was the wireless network tab has disappeared???? the only way to bring it back and get the wireless to start working working again is i need to restart my laptop, after a couple of hours it will happen again it just comes and goes,
i have tried uninstalling the wireles network and reintalling it again but still no diffrent,
does anyone know why this is happening and anyone know a solution for it?

Thanks

sometimes if you have a weak connection and you loose it for a second you have to manually start it again ?? It can be a pain if you have a weak connection

Have you made sure you have your auto connect button selected in your options cos even if you loose a connection for a second your gonna have to manually started it.

when your connected just right click on the icon in your task bar and go into the settings


or just goto your control pannel and select network and connections make sure the option is clicked

Have you tried changing the wireless channel? Someone might be on the same channel as you in your local area and can cause interference.

It should be on the router page. I have found some wireless cards also you can go into device manager, properties of the wireless device and change it there.

You can also download a program like netstumbler so you can check what channels people are using.

thanks guys but again still no luck, cos when i loss the connection i completely loss the wireless adaptor from the device manager itself and the only way to get it back is to reboot the system

I have the VM Super hub and currently keep on losing connecting either when using Skype or having the wireless on for X amount of time. I complained to VM and they ask me to find out what wireless card I have in my laptop, I told tell them that I had an Intel WiFi Link 5100 AGN (apparently it is not fully compatible with the Super Hub). VM suggested I should buy a more up to date wireless N card :thumbdown:, I Google my current wireless card and apparently it is known to lose connection frequently, people have complained to Intel but they have done nothing about fixing this problem :wtf:.

I had a call from VM customer services last night apologizing for all my recent connection problems, they said it was a software problem and it has now been fixed.
I told him that your technical support said the problem was due to my wireless card!
He said that is not correct and does not why the tech support said what he said, there should be no more problems and if there are I should call his personal number.
