Wireless connects, disconnects, connects by Reaper on 06-12-2006 at 03:21 PM

For some weird reason, my wireless connection constantly disconnects and connects. It happens every few minutes. Ever since I setup the connection its never happened. Before you say the singal strength is the problem, its not, because its either Very Good or Excellent, it has never been lower. I have reset both computers (i'm using an Ad-hoc type connection) and repaired the connection many times.
Whats going on?

It is strange its happened with me before I use belkin modem it must be something to do with the signal.

This happens to me before. Then I switched to wired connection. It's quite strange for some reason.
It's because of your settings. It randomized the IP address every hour or after a few minutes. It's default for some. You can change it, just go to the address provided by your modem and change the wireless settings.

Although i think this would be right, for a router, but he is using an ad-hoc connection... perhaps in your modem?

Should you not be using infrasructure mode?

Make sure your appliances like Wireless Phone, Microwaves aren't interfering with it.  Also check the channel you are on.  This happened to me a few times and I just changed channels and now I'm constantly conected.  But every other router setting should be the same.
