Question Flawless wireless home network??

Currently using a Belkin F5D7230-4 router n card on a Laptop.

Keeps dropping the signal but I beleive it is set up properly.

Are there any tried and tested wireless routers and cards which DONT EVER drop a connection even when idle for long periods of time (broadband)

My Linksys wireless router is absolutely 100% spot on all the time, cant fault it.

try putting your "disconnect time" as -1.

On the Belkin suba?

Don't think it's got an option for disconnect time

It dropped every 10 mins or so, but I hadnt sent it up with a key or encription.
Done this yesterday and the connection was on for about 7 hrs.
Switched off the laptop last night, booted it today and the connection was lost again and had to manualy reconnect, should do it auto.

Are you talking about the connection from router to Internet or laptop to router?

If laptop to router - check this article out, as I have had this problem.

I have a wireless Belkin router at home and it is flawless. Never once dropped a connection in 6 months of being "always on" since I bought it.
