Anoying Wireless Network Problems

[ozispimp]

first off, xp system w/centrino.. router is a linksys wireless router.

now, the problem is.. it seems every few minutes, my network logs me off and tells me that "additional networks are available" i click the button.. and NOTHING.. once in a blue moon another network will show up. so then i have to right click, and reconnect to my network..

this happens randomly.. sometimes it doesn't happen at all.. but it happens all the time.. anyway i can set it up so it never switches networks?

1. Disable 802.1x authentication on the client adapter
2. Enable SSID broadcast on the router:

3. Control Panel, Add/Remove Programs, remove Hotfix Q815485

You may also want to check for any wireless phones of the same frequency range in the area. If you're using a 2.4GHz router, then no phone of the same frequency should be used within the router's range or it will interfere.

Hope that helps
