I bought this rosewill wireless adapter a while back its a USB and it worked well for a month or so... but now it keeps disconnecting me after its been on for about 5 minutes or so. I tried out different wireless adaptors (PCI) on this PC and it seems to work fine for about 2 weeks.. so i am most positive it is because the USB has became defective.

 

what kind of router do you have, pc or mac, budget?

 

+1

Changing the channel to something like 11 will more than likely solve your issue

 

thats funny, according to the area scan or whatever i am the only one using channel 11, and everyone else is using like channel 1 and 6 or whatever.

I am thinking about just switching to a PCI one, does anyone know if that is more reliable then USB? or should i just buy another USB? i ended up giving the PC to my sister, and gave her the rosewill as well, so i definitly need a new USB super soon.

 

I've got one of these and it's been unstoppable:
Newegg.com - HAWKING HWUG1A IEEE 802.11b/g USB 2.0 Wireless-G Adapter with Removable Antenna For Mac Users Up to 108Mbps Wireless Data Rates 64/128-bit WEP Data Encryption, WPA, WPA2, AES and IEEE 802.1x

Before you go buying another adaptor though, is anyone else able to connect to your access point when you lose connection? Until you've established that something is actually wrong with your NIC, I'd hold off on spending any money.
