Trouble with WiFi
Hi! A while ago I bought a ASUS F3Tc and with it I got Vista: Home Premium. So, connecting to a wifi/wlan is no problem at all. But after a while the connection dies, no matter which network I connect to. Even if I sit 2 inches from the wireless router I get disconnectet after a short while.. And that is really bothering me.. because I'm a web-developer, and I have to have a stable connection to the internet. I know that there are alot of other people who have got the same problem as me.. And that is only with Vista. Cause if I install Linux on my laptop, the wifi is stable. And it doesn't disconnect at all.. So what is the problem? And.. Is there a fix for it? Cheers, Artheus -- artheus |

Trouble with WiFi
1. Check with ASUS to see if there are updated drivers.
Usually there are since when a machine gets into production the driver set assigned are likely very new and buggy. 2. Do not sit that close to your Wifi Router, 3 foot minimum should he about right. 3. Are you broadcasting the SSID (Router name)? Not doing so adds a bit of security on a small network however some routers are intermittent when the SSID is not broadcast. 4. Lastly you might need to upgrade your Router's firmware.

Trouble with WiFi
I have the same problem with my Asus G50VT-X5. I have to turn on and off
the wlan to reset the connection. All my computers work except the Asus. Device Manager shows that the Wlan card is a Intel 5100 and the driver is dated back 2008. So, I downloaded a newer driver from Intel. It seems to work so far. "artheus" wrote in message ... Hi! A while ago I bought a ASUS F3Tc and with it I got Vista: Home Premium.

Do you also have a home wireless phone base station located near the router?
