MSI U180 netbook wireless problems

dori2o

I'm having problems with my Daughters MSI netbook.

It keeps dropping the wireless signal.

No other wireless device is having this problem.

I have updated the wireless adapter drivers to the most recent update but it is still happening.

It will connect for 4 or 5 minutes then drop, then it can't see our wireless network only next doors, and then when it does recognise and try to connect to our network it can't, or connects but with no internet access.

The network adapter is a Atheros AR9285.

The netbook is running Win 7 (as is the host PC) has 1gb RAM and 1.6gb Atom processor.

Any advice appreciated.

Try setting it to a static ip although sounds like a faulty wifi card

Figment

Try changing the wifi channel in the router's admin pages.

Use inSSIDer to check whether your neightbours are using the same channel
