Periodical holo-cutouts in my WLAN

[muratnokay]

I've set up a small wireless network in a small area. A Datron wireless ADSL router to send Internet connection to four computers, one of which being a laptop. Desktops use D-Link PCI wireless adapters, while the laptop has a D-Link USB. The problem is: In this setting, all computers lose their wireless connection simultaneously in about every five minutes. Then I need to reconnect all the machines. The fact that I need to restore the connection every 5 minutes or so makes it tiresome, not to mention the file downloading problem. When I use a D-Link access point, this time it's 1 hours. Is there some way to have a PERMANENT connection which doesn't cut itself out periodically? I use 64-bit WEP security, might it be a factor? I need in dire help, thanks in advance.

There are a number of reasons why a wireless connection could drop off. For instance for 802.11b/g which uses 2.4GHz range, there could be interference from other RF emitting products like 2.4GHz cordless phones, bluetooth devices, microwave ovens or other WL networks. I would first try using different channels. Normally the default shared channels are 1, 6 & 11. Try using different channels and see if that makes any difference. I do not believe WEP is the issue since we are talking about disassociations which is normally associated with WLAN control messages which is not encrypted.
