Constant drropped network connections

2 DELL 2400 desktops w wmp54 wireless adapters 1 DELL laptop dell mini pci adapter4150. HP 2510 MFC (wireless) Linksys WRT54G, MTU is set to 1392 at the direction of the Linksys folks. wireless router Broadxent DSL modem AOL 9.0 (sad I know not my choice) Previously the laptop was hardwired and worked great. After changing to wireless the connection gets dropped every 20-30 mins I can reconnect quickly. AOL error is as follows: Attempt 1) {broadband(Cable/DSL/ISP)} Your connection to the AOL service was Interupted (24-01-08-041) Attempt 2) {broadband(Cable/DSL/ISP)} server unreachable or unavailable (24-01-08-033) Linksys and AOL have not been able to resolve my issue. The wireless Signal strenghth is great. the only thing that is different is the router has been hooked up into a differnt room with a longer phone cable. The PC's are within 10 ft. The MFC and Laptop @ 76 ft. Anyone with any ideas??? All would be appreciate. Thanks for your time in advance. Miss Rosie

Just an idea. Seeing how you moved things around are you using DSL filters on all your phones, faxes etc.

You didn't say what OS you are using but my guess is Win XP. The problem may be in that the windows zero configuration program defaults to check for new or better wireless networks periodically. This can be turned off and may solve your problem.

All Phone bases have filters, no need on the asseory handsets. The MFC is totally wireless HP 2510 and the fax is not yet set up. Thanks for your reply.....Miss Rosie

Thank-You! All seems well. The suggestion to turn of WZC seems to resolve the issue.

rosie i feel your pain - i have the same issue. in my case i resigned myself to accepting that wireless is just not gonna happen with any sort of reliable connection so now i went back to my trusty cable and hooked it into the router.

AND I STILL DROP THE CONNECTION..... how on earth is *that* possible? the only thing left for me to do is take the wireless router back and go back to a regular router + switch but then i have to keep my laptop plugged in around the house as well. joy!

Usually when they send out a dsl modem it comes with a phone cord that they tell you to use, it may have better shielding then the normal line. You could be picking up noise on the longer phone cable. DOes the phone cable cross any power wires in the attic or anything. If possible put back on a different phone line and check it out
