Wireless adaptor not in range
I am using Vista on my laptop and XP on my desktop. My laptop connects
through a Belkin 54g wireless router wchich is wired through my desktop. I have had no problems for the last 2 or 3 years, but i have started getting disconnected frequently and when I try diagnosing, I get several different messages including " The Belkin54g is not in range"! Even if i'm sitting right next to the router. The next minute i'm getting an excellent signal and it works perfectly until it decides to disconnect again! Can anyone tell me what is wrong?

Take your laptop to a friend's house and connect to their wireless network. Does the connection stay solid? Test for at least a few hours. If yes, it's time to replace your router. If you have problems at the friend's house, there's a problem with your laptop's wireless network adapter. After you do this troubleshooting, post back with results if you need more help.
