From: Michael on 5 May 2010 13:45 I have the same router and the same Problem i placed a laptop cooling mat under it and pluged it into the wall for fan power using an usb-to-AC/DC convertor and the problem became very servrely limited Dreamweave wrote: Wireless connection disconnects randomly 18-Apr-08 I am using XP Pro SP2 and a ZyXEL Prestige 660HW-T1 Modem/Router. I am also using Network Magic which compensates my lack of understanding on networking in general. For the last couple of months my wireless connection disconnects and reconnects 10 - 15 times a day. The problem was reported to ZyXEL who have changed the unit but the problem still persists. Any ideas? Roger Mantle -- Extra Income - Ask me how.

You might be getting interference from another nearby wireless network. I had a similar issue with my wife's wireless XP Pro desktop when a neighbor moved in and came up on the same channel I was on. I had to move to Channel 9 from Channel 1. If your on the default channel, many times Channel 6, you might try 1 or 11. If those are used you might try others. Unless you run a Netstumbler scan, or similar software, its probably going to be trial and error until you find a clear channel. -- Al Jarvi (MS-MVP Windows ???

Is this right? I experienced this last year with both my SMC and TRENDNet wireless adapters. They disconected from my wireless network and then either never found it or did not find any wireless networks. Only removing the adapters (Safely Remove icon) or a reboot got it back. Turned out my USB ports were the cause. All my "other" USB devices worked correectly, without problems. I looked at more details on this and my USB 2.0 ports were based on ALi controller chips. I foiund several known problems on this chip controller and all posted "work arounds" did not help. Fortunately I was able to replace my USB 2.0 ports since they are on a PCI add-on card. I got my self a card based on NEC chip controller (Belkin) and my problem disappeared. Check your USB ports.

From: Jack [MVP-Networking] on 5 May 2010 18:09 Hi It is hard to really deal with your issues since Net Magic make changes to he standard way the LAN is configured. However Wireless disconnect can be a result of Noisy Wireless Signal Environment. Change the Working Channel of the Router. Try all of them and choose the one thta yields the best results.
