P5B-Deluxe wifi Problem

[kniwor]

I've a P5B Deluxe wifi that has a realtek RTL8187 wifi adapter.

I recently moved to a place with wifi facility, and for few days the connection was working just fine. But since yesterday I have been having disconnection problem and I have hardly been able to stay connected actually. The signal strength is not a problem as my P5B-MX wifi works just fine in the same room. I have already tried the following. There are no other wireless objects in the area except the P5B-MX wifi, the router is a NETGEAR on channel 11. I do not know anything more about the router, but the P5B-MX wifi is working just fine.

Disabling the wireless zero configuration service once a connection has been made, but it still disconnects.
Reinstalling drivers, trying out various drivers etc.
Reinstalling Windows XP itself.

Is it a problem with the adapter itself and should I request a replacement for the board, the onboard audio on the board is also having problems but i didn't bother because i was using a soundcard anyhow.


EDIT: Nothing wrong with the wifi, working just fine, it was the network it seems.

I have a P5B-Dlx Wifi too. I've never had problems with it connecting to my netgear router.

What drivers have you tried? Are you using the Asus wifi solo softare, realtek software, or driver only and managing with Windows?

Personally, I installed the driver only and let windows manage the connection. You can get the latest driver from RealTek's website. I suggest you download the driver only, without the RealTek GUI software.

I know a few tricks to straighten out the onboard audio too, but it soulds like you've already by-passed the problem.

Installed the driver from Realtek, ok, seems drivers is not a problem, just installed a Netgear PCI wifi card besides it on the board, and it's working just fine. But not the integrated one.

ok, there's nothing wrong with the wifi adapter, maybe it was a windows conflict, or the router acting up.

Not actually, I was using a dedicated sound-card, can u help me with the on board audio, might wanna use the soundcard somewhere else actually.
