My laptop keeps reconnecting to the WiFi, please help!

[Marbar2000]

We have a pretty lame router in our house and I am the one sitting the furthest distance away from it. I use a Laptop (Acer aspire e1-570g) and it often disconnects from the wifi just to reconnect itself. I do not know if it is because I am out of the routers optimal range, or if it is a problem with my Laptop. I am having the same problem with my phone, but it happens waaay less frequently so that might be something else...

I have tried searchig for New drivers for my network card, but I already have the newest one installed. I have also tried restarting the router over and over again, but it is no use what so ever.

Now, my question is: If this is indeed a problem with my Laptops' Wireless network card, can I solve the problem by using an ethernetcable instead?

It's most likely a signal problem from the sound of things. Do you still have the problem when you get closer to the router? If you don't have problems when you're closer, you'll need a better router or wireless card to solve this one.

In other Forums it could be your wireless card on the Computer itself try to roll back the driver see if that might work

but overall go for cable its much better and faster and reliable

No, I don't have the problem when I get closer to the router. I'll try to make a wired solution
