I have checked the power management of the device in device manaager, and the power options in control panel, and everything is ok.

Now i haven't got a clue why the power supply should affect the wireless performance... Seems little point in having a wireless laptop if you can only use it plugged into a power supply imo.

thats an odd one, i have a safecom router but i lent it to a mate so cant comment on how well it works, i also had a safecom wireless lan card and i was getting all sorts of corruption/dropouts since changed the wlan card for a Netgear and all my problems dissapeared.

I'm not overly convinced at the relablity of safecom stuff maybe the wlan card went bad (or got cooked by my laptop, as it can get rather hot under high cpu/gfx load) but after the problems i had with it ive been put off safecom.
