When downloading - Limited or no connectivity

Hey,
I'm on Vista Ultimate x32. I connect to my internet wirelessly using a Linksys USB adapter.
When I'm downloading something my internet stops working, downloads top and it says limited or no connectivity - so I have to disconnect from the network, unplug the USB Adapter and then re-plug it in and then it connects.
It's annoying.
Anyone got a solution?

Sure - make sure that hte device is not being automatically turned off when the computer not in use - Device Manager --> your wireless USB adapter --> properties --> Power Management --> uncheck "Allow the computer to turn off this device to save power"

I've unchecked that. I'll see if I encounter the problem again and let you know.

Please do not bump posts - we see them as having been made new - I have been out of town for the last three days and thus could not answer you.

How often does this happen, or after what time frequency does it happen? After you reboot does it work flawlessly, or does it reoccur?
