Belkin PCMCIA loses signal

[stax]

Hi,

I have a laptop with a Belkin PCMCIA Wireless card connected to a Linkysys 802.11 router.

If i leave my computer on, after a few hours the Belkin signal drops and i lose internet connection. They are only about 25 feet apart.

Is there anyway that i can lock them together so that they never lose signal ? My belkin settings are as follows

mode > Infrastructure
SSID > "My network"
TX Rate > Fully Automatic
PS MOde > **BLANK
Channel > **BLANK + I CANT SELECT ANYTHING
ENCRIPTION > 64 Bit + Password correct

Any suggestions ?

Thanks, Shaun

What Windows version and service pack level are you using on the notebook?

What model and revision number is the Belkin card?

What model and revision number is the Linksys router?

What else electronic or metalic is near the router or notebook? Are there any obsticals between them (walls, TV, windows, etc.)





My memory is not as good as it should be, and neither is my memory.

I have forgotten more than I can remember

Make sure that power saving is turned off on the PCMCIA card. My own experience with Belkin was crap. Hopefully your will be better than my own.
