Why am I regularly kicked out of my wireless inter Thanks to posters to this forum, who assisted me in earlier threads, I now have an Internet wireless network running in my apartment :)

You might have some other device that cycles through every 10 minutes which is blanketing the signal band temporarily.

A common problem is either a microwave (which wouldnt have this regularity), or a cordless 2.4 GHz phone. If you go into your router's config screen you should be able to change the channel (from 1-6 or so). Its probably on 3 or 4 (it seems that everything is). Adjust the channel and see if that doesn't stop the boot.

Running XP? Here's how I have mine set up. I had the dropped connections problem for a while too.
What do you mean by "kicked out"? Is it dropping your idle connections (like in SecureCRT), or something else?

the closest access points needs to ping to your machine constatly, maybe your firewall is set at such a high level that it does not let the access point ping to your machine!

Isn't it laughable that the wireless networking solutions choose to run on same bands as your microwave and phone. I know of someone who had to go get a new cordless phone to fix his problem. The 2.4ghz phone caused problems until it was replaced.

I think they're severely limited in the U.S. by what the FCC lets them use, since just about all usable frequencies are taken by some device or another.

They have 5GHz devices. It's called 802.11a. No interference. The problem is, the range sucks, and the penetration sucks. The other two choices, 900MHz and 2.4GHz, are both chock full of noisy devices. That's why 802.11b/g allow you to choose channels, so you can opt to try and tweak things.

I had similar experience for a while with my wireless net. Moved my WAP to a different spot in the office and now I've got no problems. Check out what happens if you're in direct line of sight for a half hour. If the problem goes away, you might try to find a better spot for the WAP.

The reason that so many conflicting devices use the band is that it is the band that is available for unlicensed use.

Phones are very slowly moving to 5 GHz. However, if you look, the 5GHz band has much tighter specifications on allowable interference and how it must be handled.

I have also experience problems with Win XP WEP encryption settings. XP seems to decide to forget its WEP key from time to time. I have no idea why. More recently I put the XP machine on a cat 5 cable so I don't have to worry about this any longer. My "loss of key" problem only occured every few days, not every 10 minutes...

The only phone I have in my pad is cellular. Problem solved.
