Default Frequent Disconnects only restart helps


Starting about a month ago, my laptop will show "unidentified network:
Local Only" at random points throughout the day. I've searched high and
low for a way to fix this, and nothing seems to work. I've tried
disabling QoS, Ipv6, I've set it so that the computer does not cut power
to the network card if it's idle, resetting the dhcp through console,
renewing my IP, and the "automatic repair" as well. The ONLY way I can
seem to work around this is to restart the computer, and the internet
works fine... For a while. I am using a Dell Vostro with Vista 32-bit
edition and a brand new wireless router, which was only installed two
weeks ago (so I know it's not the router). This problem happens with
wi-fi AND ethernet connections. I'm at a total loss.. I've tried
restoring to previous states, and I could try a complete restore (which
I did around a month ago) but I don't know what I could do differently
after restore to make this not happen, as I have not accumulated any
virus to my knowledge. ANY help on this would be much appreciated!
Thanks

Hi
Did you check the Wireless Network list to make sure that it is not
connecting Automatically to other Wireless Networks.
Look at he Network and Sharing under Mange Wireless Networks.
