Hello there dear friends.

I just registered to your forum searching for help to a very persistent and annoying problem i have been facing.

While my internet works fine, many times a day (every day) the connection will fail and a yellow exclamation pyramid will appear at my connection status. When i perform a troubleshoot at my connection the problem is recognized as Wireless Network Connection doesn't have a valid IP configuration and the problem is immediately repaired.

Now as you understand this is a very annoying problem because i am unable to perform many internet functions demanding time as downloading a file or playing an online game because i will drop every once and a while. I noticed that many people have been facing this problem but they couldent connect at all in the internet, as you understand my problem differs because i can connect to the internet but i get dropped every once and a while.

I am using a wireless router: airties rt-205
my laptops network card is a realtek rtl8191se
and i am using windows 7 home premium 32bit.

Before you ask i have already updated my networks card and routers drivers to the latest ones.

I beg you masterminds of windows 7 forums please help me solve this very annoying problem thats killing all the fun of my internet.

(ps if you need the details of the troubleshoot report just let me know)

Are you using "homegroup" for networking, or workgroup?

I already changed it and set it to channel 2, which from what i can see in xirrus nobody from my neighbors is using. I really hope that this was the problem because buying a new router would set me in expenses i cant really afford at the time.

Anyhow if the problem happens again i will let you know.
Thank you very much for all your help and advices, i really appreciate it

Give it a day or two to make sure it's not dropping connections anymore than report back in.

Homegroups certainly doesn't have a thing to do with dropping wireless connections but obviously wireless channel cross over does.
