WIFI not working.. Help

[SimpleRx]

I bought the the IBM ThinkPad t23 that was on sale for 999 at Pc connections 2 weeks ago. The WIFI quickly found the access point and got it connected as soon as i turned the laptop on. It worked for around 2 days and suddenly stopped working. The only way i could get it to work again was to reboot my router. Only then it would work for around 1 hour and stop again. IBM sent me a new wireless card, and that one also worked for around 2 days, and stop working. This is getting really frustrating. It doesn't make sense that it would work perfectly for a while then not work at all. I have a IPAQ Connection point cp-2w as a router. My other computer using a usb wireless adapter works fine. I also tried the firmware upgrade and the driver upgrade, and it did nothing ;(
I've seen someone on the board have the same problem, and got it fixed but posted no solution. Please someone help me this is getting really frustrating.

It's probably because the AP is a Compaq

No kidding - everything Compaq makes is sh1t. Go buy a cheap new one.

Can you confirm it's broken or is it just compatibility issue? (borrow a different one from a friend?)
Sounds like they have a good after sales support, maybe you should work a deal to get a different one? (if it's really compatibility issue)
When I got problems, I usually search at www.dejanews.com
Good luck.
