overclocking affects wireless internet connections?

i don't know if its my setup, or if i just got a bad wiress adapter, but my internet connection constantly disconnects and has problems with stability. sometimes i'm able to view my internet connects and disable, then renable the connection. other times, the stupid thing freezes up and i have to reboot to get my internet connection back. i read somewhere that wireless adapters just don't like OC'ed processors, but somehow i doubt it. I have a mobile barton 2400+ @2.3ghz on a nf7-s v2 mobo and 1 gig corsair xms pc3500 ram. my usb adapter is a linksys 802.11b. anyone else have the same problems as i do?
 
Well, try to set your computer to Normal CPU speed, and see if the Wireless is stable.:beer:

:sun:
 
If the PCI and AGP busses are at 33/66, and the computer is prime and memtest stable with no other symptoms, then no, the overclock is not likely the problem. As Jack said though, easy enough to find out🙂
 
It could be possible that the OCed system could be producing more internal RF noise. This could in theory affect a connection for an internal card. You could always solve this with an external adapter as the case is a good shield, unless you have any windows - they are not very effective RF shields and technically/legally are not supposed to be there.

However, I doubt this, and I doubt that an OC would have any effect on wireless. At least I have never witnessed it.
