    Wireless Internet Keeps Disconnecting


    OS: Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit
    Wireless Adapter: Linksys WMP600N Wireless-N PCI Adapter with Dual-Band
    Router: 2Wire HomePortal 1000HW

    Problem: My wireless internet connection keeps dropping and not auto-reconnecting correctly (Have to go to the adapter's properties and disable then re-enable to get the signal to come back AND if it auto-reconnects I get a "unidentified network/No access").
    My wireless adapter's drivers are up to date so I do not know why it is doing this. If I try to diagnose the problem it comes up as either "Default Gateway Not Availabe" or sometimes as "The network configuration I.P. is not valid". How do I fix this VERY annoying problem?

    When I run services.msc I see NEITHER of those two services on the list. This is very bad amirite?

    Also above fix did not work.

    It may be called WLAN autoconfig, it is on mine. It should be just under wired autoconfig

    Are you connected on the 2.4Ghz band or the 5.0Ghz band? 2.4 has become more popular and channel crossover is becoming a bigger problem. Use the inSSIDer Wi-Fi Scanner tool to check the wireless signals that your computer can pick up. Find out what channel your router is set to and choose a channel that has less SSID's on it. Typically on the 2.4Ghz band you should use channels 1, 6, or 11. Let us know if this helps or not. Good Luck!
