Maybe. Disable the Windows Zero auto configuration and use the connection software of the wireless interface.

Hope it does the job...

Unfortunately, it did not come with that kind of software.

Are there any generics online that I can use? Or any other options?

Thanks for the advice.

Not high enough.

Does this router have a model number? Extra credit for reading the serial number tag and extracting the hardware version. A gold star if you can supply the firmware version.

Make, model, wireless device?

Does it disconnect while you're working or is it after 3-5 mins of inactivity?

Is there some pattern to these disconnects? How often?

Duz it also happen when you plug into your router with a CAT5 ethernet cable?

Duz it happen only with your home wireless router or does it also happen with other wireless hotspots?

Is your laptop the only one with the problem? Try dragging a friend with a known working laptop over and try it.

Lots of possibilities. Looks like you're on Mindspring cable modem. The router should be set for DHCP but with no timeout set. It might be disconnecting you from the ISP. When you disclose the router model number, I can show you where the settings are located.

Your HP wireless something might also be going into power save mode. Find the wireless advanced properties for the device and disarm the power save feature for now.

You might also be getting some intereference from other Wi-Fi systems.

There are also some rather exotic problems dealing with WPA re-keying.

An understatement, to say the least.
