Vista - Wireless Internet Connection Problems

Hello all,

I'm wondering if you could help me with my wireless dilemma. My computer is running Windows Vista Home Premium 32 bit, service pack 1. I have a DLink wireless router, model WBR-1310, hardware version B1, firmware version 2.02. The issue I have is my internet connection will randomly go away (the globe will disappear and my network will go local only). This can be while I'm in the middle of doing something online, or sometimes when I get back to the computer from being away for a few hours the connection is gone. I'll have to randomly disconnect/reconnect the connection to the router to reestablish my internet. I've disabled all sleep modes/screen savers/etc. I just want to keep this connection live 24/7.

I would like to know if there is any way to fix this so that my connection becomes more stable.

Have you tried contacting your ISP? The modem itself or the ISP could be the problem

Problem doesn't happen on my HP laptop that is connected to the Internet. Just this Dell.

Anyone? It keeps doing it and I don't know why.

hello:

---you may try this---log in to the 'router' configuration and check that the dhcp lease time is set to 28 days---(shorter times will cut off cycles)---also try moving it around--- it should be set high---clear of obstructions--- well ventilated---

---if all else fails---phone the 1-800-number---(I did that when MY router did not work - we set it up step-by-step, over the phone) - works now!---yeay---

---please post your results---thank you---

peace
