Intermittent WiFi connection

Mr-Two:
Hi guys.

I am currently having some connectivity issues with my Home wirless setup. It only seems to be whilst I am using my Work laptop and not other wireless devices, i.e my brothers and GFs laptops.

I have a Netgear WAG511 PCMCIA card in the HP compaq nx9005 laptop. And the wireless router is a Netgear WGT624. I have now configured it to MAC acess and taken off the WPA-PSK authentication, as this seemed to cause even more breaks in the connection!

Any thoughts/ideas would be greatly appreciated?!

Cheers
Andy

A knackered WiFi card in the laptop! Try a different WiFi card if you can get your hands on one

That card has a very common chipset and should have very few problems. "Should" is the operative word here. Try pulling it and cleaning the connections with a pencil eraser, and reinstalling. If that doesnt work, Id try a new/different card.

Get netstumbler on your computer and give a good scan around your area with a different wireless card.

I had the same issue turned out my neighbour had set a wireless G network up on the same channel as mine. I set mine 3 channels away from him (meh.. little illegal in the uk, but pfft...) and voila.. perfect connection.
