    After a lot of troubleshooting and different drivers, I started to think more about some small setting that was messing me up.

    I disabled homegroup, even though when I installed the OS I didn't say I wanted to use it. Try that if you want, I've been on about an hour with it, playing an mmorpg, downloading itunes, and torrenting and have had a slow connection but haven't DC'd. With only the mmorpg it works fine.

    This problem is very widespread. About all you can do is wait for the drivers to be upgraded which should happen faster after the launch of Windows 7.

    Guys

    anyone who has turned homegroup off should also disable IPv6 as it has been shown to cause random disconnects. Is in you network and sharing

    I will be checking my internet connection later on today, my computer has been up since I 'fixed' the problem and like I said, I was playing an mmorph, torrenting, and downloading itunes at one point without it failing.

    If homegroup is turned off, MAKE SURE. I had considered that to be the problem but thought I had taken care of it when I installed the OS... so make sure. Also make sure IPv6 is off (like the gentleman posted earlier in this thread).

    Also, as I was against the idea of using the latest drivers.. update them to their most recent version. Use the actual drivers of the company who makes the chipset for your wireless device and not just the microsoft ones.

    I'm still having trouble. I'm not in a homegroup, and IPV6 is off. I still get limited connection.
