Sporadic Connection Drops
Hello,
I just downloaded Windows 7 yesterday using the student discount program they set up (Only 30 dollars to do so.) I did an upgrade from the 32 bit version of Vista to 7, and everything seemed to go smoothly.
The only problems I am having is that I am having sporadic and intermittent connection drops from my wireless router. It happens when I'm playing an online game, talking to friends using chat programs, browsing the internet, or even just leaving it here(I was reading a book and saw the disconnection happen while I wasn't doing anything on it).
My wifi is Atheros AR5007 802.11b/g WiFi Adapter, and one of the things I did was uninstall and reinstall that same driver(which is compatible with Vista), but I still have the problem. I even read somewhere to try and disable IPv6 to see if that works, but the problem continues to persist.
I am on an HP Pavilion laptop dv6700, and the router itself is Netgear. Any help would be appreciated.
