Wirelesss Connection Intermittent

I have a Belkin Router and Wireless Card. I have 64 Bit WEP set up, and the wireless signal is never lower than 88 percent on my laptop. It is running WinXP, and I use the belkin utility to connect, rather than the WinXP zero config utility. I have disabled this service. This is what happens -

I'll be browsing the internet, and all of sudden IE will be unable to find the page. If I repair the connection, it immediately starts working again. This does not seem to be tied to any drop in signal quality, as the quality stays above 80% all of the time. During this time when I cannot connect to any sites, Windows does report that I have an IP, but its almost as if the DNS is not working.

Any suggestions?

Thanks,
Tim
 
Okay, well it appears as if this might be because I have a 2.4GHZ phone - I will test tonight and see what happens.
 
Also, try disabling "Enable IEEE 802.1x authentication for this network" in Wireless Network Connection Properties>Configure>Authentication. According to Microsoft, that may be the problem.
 
As far as I am concern 2.4GHz is a Big NO NO in Wireless Network envioroment, some people think that they get away with changing the phone's channels.

Even if it looks like it working, it is always ?depressing? the Signal.

Better off, to downgrade to 900MHz, or Upgrade to 5.8GHz.
