Wireless vs. AIM

I have a wireless network in my house. Whenever I am connected to AOL Instant Messenger (typically all day) I notice that it gets logged off and then immediately logs itself on again like I lost internet connectivity for a second or something. This happens at least 25 times a day.

Any thoughts?
 
its a wireless thing.. it means you have a bad connection.. try fixing it, in another forum...

Spooner, my kids started using that crap the past few weeks and I was getting perplexed by the same issue! I also have a wireless connection and they leave AIM on all of the time. Nothing else ever seems affected by this.
 
I've seen this happen sitting 4 inches away from the router with a SOLID connection.

I blame consumer-crap wireless hardware. (and yes, it actually DOES affect everything, AIM is just significantly more vulnerable to being tossed around because it was coded for 12 year olds by 12 year olds)

so there's literally nothing you can do about it?
 
Wireless networks actually switch themselves on and off very, very fast. Although, I really doubt this is bothing AIM.

It might be bad hardware, or a lot of wireless interference.
