said by LAURLEE :Thanks again. I will try my router today. I have a possible related question.... Several times a day My adapter disappears from my wireless network window. This is after I get a message saying limited connection or no networks available. I have to restart my laptop constantly or use ethernet connection. Must be my laptop since this doesn't happen on other wireless devices in my home. Any ideas?
Look for an updated wireless driver.
If that doesn't work, many laptops have a compartment on the bottom where the wifi card is. You may check out the antenna connections and make sure it's fully seated. Or you can try a USB wifi adapter.
