x60s dropping wireless connection

#1 Post by thevt » Sun Jun 17, 2007 12:10 pm

Has anyone else had this problem? The wireless connection drops every 40-60 minutes.

This has happened using multiple routers and at multiple internet connections so I don't think its any one particular thing. Usually I can solve the problem by disconnecting the network and then reconnecting but it's becoming a little annoying.

I have an x60s, running Vista. Atheros a/b/g card, driver version 7.1.0.90.

Thanks for any help.

Sometimes, if there is something wrong with a machine (hardware, software, or virus), the wireless card can send malformed packets to a router, which might lock a router up and require a reset.

If you do a search on the forum you will see that this is a "common" problem. I had the same thing happening with my new X60. An Atheros card solved the problem.
