I'm on blueyonder broadband at home and get connection drops anywhere between 5 minutes and last night I actually got to 55 minutes before my wireless connection dropped. If I connect wired its ok and never drops.

Also, I use the same laptop at work and at my parents accesssing a BT wireless router and never get any problems

The connection drops for a matter of seconds and then will come back on.
(occasionaly I need a reboot but nornally just reconnects on its own within a minute)

My problem is that I play a lot of online poker and this can be really costly by the time I get logged back into the game, if i was just browsing internet I wouldnt be that bothered. Its absolutely driving me mad!

Ive posted before about this but still not solved problem and would be really
grateful if anyone has any ideas what the cause may be.


I am now on my 3rd wireless router, a belkin - the previous 2 peak and sweex it was exactly the same (all tried within the space of a few weeks)
Ive tried turning off cordless phone, microwave
Ive tried turning off windows firewall and also my AVG antivirus software
Ive tried encryption
The laptop is only about a month old and this didnt happen on my previous laptop
Ive also asked telewest to double the broadband speed I have, although i didnt notice any difference

Belkin or Telewest Tech help cant help me

One thing that I thought was strange is that when i look at available wireless networks, sometimes it will find my neighbours wireless router and others it wont, no idea if thats relevant - i wondered if maybe mine tries to look at other routers and causes disconnection problem

I just dont know what else to try and have searched the internet and found loads of similar problems but no solutions

thanks for any advice
