what is the strength of her connection? does it make a difference if she is sat next to the router compared to where she usually sits? How often would you say, ever 10mins? 1 hour?0

Start by upgrading the router firmware, or changing the channel used by the wireless equipment. also see the wireless sticky thread.. Also, make sure she is connecting to her router, and not the neighbours.
As Browntoa suggests, interference can also be an issue.. cordless phones etc..Ever get the feeling you are wasting your time? :rolleyes:0 -

if she has a video sender in her room (from a sky/freeview box elsewhere in the house) get her to turn that off

Powersaving is another potential culprit.
OH's laptop does this a lot (she blames the router, the ISP, , the weather, me, DS, the laptop - although mine never drops and she's had 2 laptops with 8 different WLAN cards in) - I changed the powersaving last week and she's on full time again.There are 10 types of people in the world, those that understand binary and those that don't
In many cases it helps if you say where you are - someone with local knowledge might be able to give local specifics rather than general advice0 -
get her phone number and call her on that.what is the plural of moose?
