Windows 7 - Windows 7 Internet Issue (Wireless)

Now if I wired my laptop to my modem then I would not have a problem with my internet connection. But since the modem is like 30 feet away, I tend to just go wireless. Now I used to have Windows Vista Home Premium before I installed Windows 7 RC 7100 and my wireless connection was perfect. But now it would cut off after the first couple minutes and I would have to reboot my laptop to get my connection back.

On my Device Manager > Network Adapter, I have Broadcom 802.11g Network Adapter so I suppose that is my issue. I already went into my services.msc and made my WLAN Autoconfig to start Automatically.

good idea two things i can think of is broadcom driver and disabling ip6 in router. is this 32bit and whats the router make and model?

32 bit and the Router is from Actiontec MI424WR (Rev E).

you might want to upgrade the router firmware

ken

ok I saved the file...just wondering how do I upgrade my firmware? it's a rmt file

EDIT: Nevermind found out how but it won't let me...I keep getting an error whenever I try to upgrade my firmware...I think it's on its latest firmware

My Broadcom 802.11g wireless wouldn't work after I installed Windows 7 RC 7100. Today when I checked Windows Update (through cable) there was a Broadcom 802.11g wireless driver update under optional. Downloaded and installed now my wireless is working.

Whats the error you get when you try to install the firmaware?

Ken

it's the same version I have installed already
