Stephen47 Posted November 17, 2008 Share Posted November 17, 2008 My son's computer connects with a wireless card. It is set st connect automatically yet whenever he starts it he has to go to the wireless utility and click connect. And it seems to disconnect for no apparent reason. The signal is excellent but it disconnects anyhow. Any thoughts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have you tried using integrated windows wireless connection manager, or maybe updating that third party wireless software for you wireless card?
