Wireles network config

I have recently set up a home wireless network. When it's working it's great,
but I have to reconfigure it every time I boot up the laptop. I've set the
zero configuration utility to automatic and it is always listed as started,
but each time I have to go into the network properties and check the box to
make windows configure the network. During the boot process I get a pop-up
telling me that the network connection is made and signal strength is
'excellent', then shortly after another pop-up advises me that connectivity
is poor and I have to go into the properties to get it working. Have I missed
something in windows, or might it be a glitch in the built-in wireless
adapter?

Hi
You might have strong Wireless environmental noise,

Try to change the Wireless Channels.(1 or 11 usually are the best, but try
all).
