Vista - Trouble with WiFi

Hi!

A while ago I bought a ASUS F3Tc and with it I got Vista: Home Premium.
So, connecting to a wifi/wlan is no problem at all. But after a while the connection dies, no matter which network I connect to. Even if I sit 2 inches from the wireless router I get disconnectet after a short while.. And that is really bothering me.. because I'm a web-developer, and I have to have a stable connection to the internet. I know that there are alot of other people who have got the same problem as me.. And that is only with Vista.
Cause if I install Linux on my laptop, the wifi is stable. And it doesn't disconnect at all..

So what is the problem?
And.. Is there a fix for it?

Cheers,
Artheus

Did you try to change the channel on the wireless router ??

1. Check with ASUS to see if there are updated drivers.
Usually there are since when a machine gets into production
the driver set assigned are likely very new and buggy.

2. Do not sit that close to your Wifi Router, 3 foot minimum
should he about right.

3. Are you broadcasting the SSID (Router name)? Not doing
so adds a bit of security on a small network however some
routers are intermittent when the SSID is not broadcast.

4. Lastly you might need to upgrade your Router's firmware.

I have the same problem with my Asus G50VT-X5. I have to turn on and off
the wlan to reset the connection. All my computers work except the Asus.
Device Manager shows that the Wlan card is a Intel 5100 and the driver is
dated back 2008. So, I downloaded a newer driver from Intel. It seems to
work so far.

Have you tried changing the wireless channel number to the lowest and/or
highest available?
Do you also have a home wireless phone base station located near the
router?
