Hi All
My router is a 3Com 3crwe754g72-a (it includes a router, DHCP server,
ADSL modem and gateway) and I have a 3Com USB Adapter on my PC
(3crwe254g72)
When I am online the connection to the router is dropped every 30
minutes. It is pretty regular and always after 30 minutes.
The only way to recorrect is to reboot the PC or remove the 3Com
adapter from the device manager (thereby reinstalling the adapter)
I have noticed that the adapter does get a little hot. Is that normal?
Settings include
On the Router
WEP128 (I tried WPA and that had not effect on the drop outs)
DHCP server is enabled on the router
Lease time is half a day
On the PC
Network settings is using the XP wireless network setup
WEP 128
WEP Shared Key
I do not use the IEE authentication
PC runs XP Pro SP2
If anyone has any ideas of things I could try I would be most
grateful.
cheers
Harry
