Hi All....

Hope someone here can help me resolve a finicky problem I have been experiencing.
I am running Vista Home on a Toshiba Satellite L45. The wireless card is a Realtek RTL 8187B 802.11g wireless network adapter.
I have a Linksys WRT600N wireless router.
The problem I'm experiencing is an intermitten drop of signal and when I go to Connect to a Network, it will say that it Cannot Connect to my wireless network.
Most of the time, if I leave it alone, the laptop will conect on its own in a few minutes. Some of the time, it will not connect at all. In order to connect, I would have to go wired to the router. Once connected via wired, the wireless connection will connect as well. Weird....
I just took a peek at the connections, now, the wireless connection has just failed.
Any suggestions????? Thanks for all your feedback.....

Attached is a snapshot of my settings..... Would you tell me if these settings are correct?

Property:

802.11b *** Enabled
Channel *** 6
Channel Plan *** Domain_From_EEPROM
Fragmentation Threshhold *** 2346
IBSS Default 11b Mode *** Enabled
LED control *** Enabled
Network Type *** Infrastructure
Power Save Mode *** CAM
Preamble Mode *** Auto
QoS *** Enabled
Rate Adaptive *** Enabled
RTS Threshold *** 2347
Wireless Mode *** 802.11b/g
WMM APSD *** Disabled

Hi SashimiOnly
I do not know if you still need help with this.
I would log into the modem/router and see if you can manually drop it back to wireless G so it matches your network adapter.
Cheers
