Wireless Connection Issues

[xanis]

This just started last night at around 8:00PM or so. What happens is this: every few minutes or seconds (anywhere from 30 seconds to 2 minutes) my wireless connection will get dropped. When it gets dropped, it will say either one of two things. It will either simply say "Wireless Connection Unavailable", or there will be another error message that says the same thing as the other one, but with "One or more wireless networks are available". This has happened before last night, but about a year ago and then it went away. Some information is posted below.

-Linksys Wireless-B Router (BEFW11S4)
-D-Link Air Wireless PCI Card
-WEP Encryption
-All Normal Settings

Have you tried using a different channel?

there could be a couple things with that the router istelf could be flaking out, or the wireless card, or there could be some rf interference (this could be anything such as wireless phones other ap's in the area raising the noise floor, etc) try changing channels, and boosting the tx power on the ap

Turn off WEP temporarily and monitor. Has firmware been updated?

Deffinatley try another channel. Check the channels of others arround your house and choose accordingly. Linksys is notorious for flaking sporadicaly so i might also suggest getting a netgear. Works flawlessly.
