I have had exactly the same problem, and although I didn't suspect it, all my troubleshooting including reinstalling of drivers, trying a different USB port and changing the channel on the router failed to cure the problem, pointing to a hardware issue. Indeed, a new Wifi USB dongle proved to be the full solution. I confirmed my old dongle was faulty by plugging it into another PC. Original problem was transferred to new location, confirming donglewas bad.

A quick idea if you have not already tried it: to narrow down the problem, borrow one of your roommate's laptops and move it to where you lost your connection.

If their connection stays strong while yours drops out in the same place, the problem is more likely to be in your wireless adaptor.

SOURCE: my asus laptop pro3 series version F3JC will not

I have seen issues like this before , certain chipsets/drivers of wireless cards and routers just dont like each other.

We know your wireless card works just as we know your router works. Trick is to get them to play nice together. Unfortunately, there is no quick and easy way to do this, you will have to try different driver and firmware combos until you find one that works.

You can get dlink updates here
http://support.dlink.com/downloads/

And you can try these drivers here.
http://asus-drivers.blogspot.com/2009/01/asus-f3-f3jc-driver-download.html

One other thing you can try before messing around with drivers and firmware is changing the application you use for wireless. The default for your setup is probably Intel Proset. Try using the native Vista wireless manager and see if that does anything. to access that go to start , run , type in services.msc, scroll down to WLAN auto config. Double click on it and then click on start. If you still cant see your router, its time to start trying drivers and firmware.

Hello rennlugent, there can be "severals things" that may have cause the Computer to lose the "connection."

  • There may have been a 'change' in the Computer [Configuration Settings], without your 'knowledge'?
  • You may have 'Lost' the {Network File Sharing}, which 'Links' all the Computers to (1) one "Network?"
  • The Computer is at a "Different Local?"
  • It may be a "temporary glitch," do to weather change?
  • The "Signal" may be or was 'weak at the time?"
!Warning:
Installing "New" Programs, or 'any' kind of Software; can 'change "Systems Configurations"

I 'suggest' you check in (2) two areas:
The first is;
  • Click on the "Wireless Network Connection."
  • You may have {Two} on the "Taskbar" _809.jpg
  • See: if you are in "Network Discovery / Sharing [Mode].
  • Go to the "Network" shortcut, from the "Start Menu."
  • Check to make 'sure' you are "Sharing the Network Files."
  • The one from this {picture on the right}, is the "Connection [Status] Icon."
  • The {smaller, on the left, is the "Network Troubleshooting Icon"
  • Check (both); one for your Connection Status?
  • Click, on the other for "Fixing the Network Connection."
!Important: Check to make 'sure' the Connection isn't {Disabled}?

If this information helped? Return and give a "Helpful Rating," please!
Thanks, paul7of9

How come when im doing lots of school work on my computer or laptop or any other device why does it lagg?

If it only lags at home, then I would say your internet is slow.

If it lags no matter where you are, then you need to run some maintenance software to clean it up. Try going to iobit.com and downloading Advanced SystemCare. It goes through and detects all sorts of problems and fixes it, for free. I've used it on hundreds of computers, and its successful a majority of the time in speeding up a computer.

My hp pavilion dv 9000 can not connect to bt home hub 2.0

hi, please make sure that you enable WPA encryption on the wireless router. Vista will give you trouble if you use WEP encryption. Also, please update the firmware on the wireless router, if possible.

Laptop use away from home

You cannot access your home network while away from home with your current hardware setup.
It is perfectly fine to use a nonsecure access point when away from home but just make sure you turn off any sharing you have of your devices so nobody can browse your computer.

Can't get internet access!!

The proper procedure in any router based network is to get the router on the network first. Plug it into the online cable modem and boot it up. Let it sit for a minute and then boot up wired computers one at a time. Use one of the wired PC's to get into the routers GUI (eg. 192.168.1.1) and see if WiFi is turned on and the permissions or wireless access is not being blocked by any security settings like MAC address or IP filters. It should be wide open. You dont need ANY drivers for a router on a PC unless they are USB drivers for a USB connection straight to the router, never seen one but I have seen a cable modem/router that had a USB connection. If your laptop has a USB wireless device, you need to load the drivers for that onto your laptop, but if it is using the built in ethernet port on the rear or a PC card ethernet card, you just need to plug the ethernet cable to the rear of the router and boot up. Make sure your ethernet device is enabled in windows and you should be good to go. After you gain access to the internet on the wireless device, get back into your router, prefferably on the wired computer and lock your network down with security measures like MAC address filtering, WEP, or other means.
