Hi there,

PLEASE HELP ME!!!

I bought a Acer Aspire 3660 with an Atheros AR5005G. Our network consist of a pc (connection fine) and the new notebook. This connenction is not so fine. I can connect, and as you can see I sometimes get to see the internet, but after roughly 10 min it always stops the connection. After re-connecting it's fine for another 10 mins. Meanwhile the pc upstairs is not affected. All the settings have been checked and are fine. Is this a driver problem or does anyone recognize this problem? Help would be very much appriciated!

Thanks, Simone -- simojero

See if your wifi adapter is automattically shutting down to save power:

Control Panel > Network Connections > Wireless Network Connection >
right-click > properties > "configure" > "power management" > UNcheck
the box to "Allow the computer to turn off this device to save power"
OK your way out
