Hey peeps hoping for some help here with my Fujistu Siemens laptop.

Its had an intermittent problem for about a year now where it wont find my router, and when it does it stays connected for an hour then just drops out. Once it drops out it wont find my router untill i restart the laptop around 10 times lol. Ive updated my wireless driver software, set my firewall settings so it lets it start up google chrome and internet. I live in a 3 bed end of terrace house so my routers wireless range should be fine?

Another thing to note is i bought a massive long internet cable which connects to my router to my laptop. Once this is plugged in BOOM Internet back on and works faultlessy for hours.

Really starting to think my wireless card playing up as the problem getting worse!

Any help appreciated

Cheers

Dan

Have you tried changing the channel the wireless is using?

change the wireless channel. A phone app like WiFi analyzer will help you diagnose channel issues.

Think there is a problem with the wireless side on your computer, as proved when hard-wired to router, you haven't got a problem.

I use a USB wireless WiFi dongle £6.95 from E-Bay on my old Windows XP Toshiba A60 laptop, works a treat, might be worth a little outlay to prove a point, on your laptop.

You could always re-sell dongle on E-Bay or a mate.?

Ive changed wireless channel as well forgot to mention this sorry. We've got another laptop and that connects fine ( im using it now as mine wont connect again grr lol) And my phone, ps3 and xbox 360 all connect fine.

Have you got the link to the dongle you used? I just typed it into ebay and hundreds have come up lol.

i found this on amazon

would this be ok. i run windows Vista

I've got an Asus USB wireless adaptor you could have if you want? Just cover postage?

Yeah ok if that's ok sure u don't want anything for it?

Lol I've tried selling it on here and at least twice on eBay (the last time for 99p) and it hasn't sold! It works ok I promise. Now, let me just make sure I haven't chucked it already

As you are running Vista there are known problems with wireless - Look on Microsoft's support site.

The offer of a USB wireless adapter may solve it.

I had lots of problems with vista home and wireless on a laptop that I never solved.

I loaded windows 7 professional and now all is good!

Try playing around with the security settings, some cards don't like certain settings, WEP WPA etc

HTH

How do i do this ( hides away like a noob lol )

Have been having similar problems here with laptop loosing connection,then would not reconnect as no network found, even if network was ok and could connect with phone or ipad. Tried options above but still same problem, then today ran Malwarebytes, and quess what... found PUM.bad.proxy lurking, removed same, laptop now connects and stays connected.

I've never had any wi-fi issues with Vista (Ultimate 32).

Unless I'm just lucky?
