I recently upgraded my router (Speedtouch 545) to make it WiFi compatible,
however all is not well. After about being connected for about 5-10 minutes i
loss the connection on my laptop which uses its own WLAN 802.11g mini-PCI
Module (made by invilink) and no matter what i do i can't seem to fix it, the
laptop only comes with drivers for the card, so i have to use Win XP's own
network configuration utility to set up the connection. But thats only the
beginning, when i want to reconnect i first need to disable then re-enable my
Wlan connection then do the same for my Lan (which by the way isn't connected
to any other PC's), this is because whenever i use the Win XP network
configuration utility to reconnect, it connects to the network, my WiFi
connection is still recognised as disconnected.
Anyone any ideas?
P.S. Could the fact that my laptop uses 802.11g and my router uses 802.11b
have anything to do with it?
