wireless access keeps cutting out on my laptop

[HOWITIS]

is this a power saver function? it keeps losing connection and then i have to reconnect it. i've heard of this happening before, but have no idea how to use the search function to find my answer. so can anyone help? i have a HP ze4560 and a linksys wireless router. not sure the model, but can look if needed.

Is it every couple of minutes, and are you running Windows XP?

If so, go into your Wireless network card properties, and disable "Use IEEE 802.1x authentication on this interface".

You should then hopefully see it stop disconnecting every couple of minutes 🙂

And Or Uncheck the Power Saving in the Client Card Drivers.

Could also be interfering with a 2.4GHz cordless phone if you have one.

I am having this exact problem running XP on a couple of desktops. In Properties, I can't find anything that looks like "Use IEEE 802.1x authentication..." Maybe I'm looking in the wrong place. Where should I be looking? THANK YOU

Click on Wireless Properties...then click configure.

Click on Wireless Properties...then click configure.

I feel very dense, but I can't find this. I can open the network connection and click Properties, but it's not there... How about a hint? 😕

I've tried START/SETTINGS/NETWORK CONNECTIONS/WIRELESS NETWORK CONNECTION/PROPERTIES but I'm obviously looking in the wrong place. What to do? Thanks.
