wireless connection periodically hangs for a minute

[pipspeak]

I'm currently using a wireless internet connection but am getting frustrated that it hangs every 10-15 minutes for about 30 seconds before continuing. During the hangtime I am able to jumpstart it by opening Access Connections (although that sometimes takes 10-15 seconds to open). It's almost as if opening Access Connections gives the wireless connection a bump-start and then everything's fine, which makes me think it's something related to the card/software rather than the router.

My wireless card (IBM a/b/g) is set to full power (powersave off)and Access Connections is handling all wireless connections.

Anyone have any ideas what's happening and how to cure it?

Have you tried letting Windows to configure the wireless settings?
