just put on win7 a few days ago and it been droping the connection at frequent but random intervals(from 2 - 10 mins and above if im lucky). It reconnects everytime i hit the troubleshoot button and comes back with a faulty connection to the wirless adapter claim(which it isn't). Anyone ant ideas, my xbox never drops its connection but thats hard wired. I'm using a belkin N router 6 monthsish old

Thanks

Could be a driver problem, check you have got the latest.

i'm using the driver that came with the router so its worth a check - ta m8

wireless is lame, . Probably one of your neibours piggybackin....

no chance of that m8 -

you havent got any neibours? Encription doesnt mean sh*t...

only one other connetion near me and i had to set it up for him, i'm sure he hasn't the knowlage to hack

10-4.

I have a similar problem, as a W7 wired connection user, albiet not as regular as you. For me it only happens on start up following an update. I have to disable LAN (as 2 networks are showing, home & UI public) then trouble shoot reconnect LAN and establish connection.

Like you said it could be a driver issue, especially if your gettting DC regularly. If its always following an update I wouldnt worry too much...

not after updates im using a unofficial copy to see if i like it before i jump in and buy one - i may just try hard wiring it to see

Whys that?

If you wanna hack a WEP key its not difficult at all. Yes that means frr internet. Send me a PM and i'll link you up if interested...

I've noticed this is common. I'm running the legit RC Windows 7 and it's connectivity often goes slow-fast, drop-pickup; both on my i7 PC as well as my partner's AM2 dual-core system. It's also a common problem on online fora and knowledge bases. I am hoping that by the time we get to Service Pack 9 it'll get handled...

it must be a driver problem, belkin dont have any upto date drivers for 7. It's running fine hard wired
i do quite like win7 having used it a little now

Does anyone actually still use WEP ?!
