Wireless network dropping

portchieboy

I have recently gone wireless, and all was well until recently.

Now, when I boot up and try to log in, to either Firefox or IE., I have to go through Start/Network Places/View Network Connections, then Disconnect (it shows my connection up and running), re connect and all is well.

Without doing this it will not come up with websites.

I think some setting somewhere has changed, and just needs a tick in a box?

Any great ideas please?

Try start, settings, control panel, services, then wireless zero configuration - you should see an option to 'start' or 'restart' - either of these should just kick it back into action if you click on it.

things like cordless phones and microwaves can interfere with routers

I cannot copy the path you mention....'wireless zero configuration'?

If you go into your router setup, you should be able to change the channel. This can help the connection if the drop is being caused by interference.
