Title: Internet Issue Post by: The Truth on September 28, 2012, 08:41:40 pm My computer keeps losing the wifi signal, and won't reconnect until I reset my network adapter. Nothing in particular seems to be the reason it drops the signal, but it happens most often when playing SWTOR.
I've tried updating my drivers, downgrading the drivers...nothing helps. Network card: Atheros ar5bwb222. Anyone know how to fix it? Title: Re: Internet Issue Post by: MsRowdyRedhead on September 28, 2012, 10:06:41 pm Have you Installed RTM Win 8 ?? That seems to cause issues.
Try this driver. http://www.driversdown.com/drivers.asp?ID=125459&brNum=3&show=0 Title: Re: Internet Issue Post by: The Truth on September 28, 2012, 10:13:17 pm No, I'm sticking with Windows 7 for now.
Thanks, but I already tried that driver. Title: Re: Internet Issue Post by: MsRowdyRedhead on September 28, 2012, 10:37:32 pm Do you have IPv6 configured on your wireless adapter? This is not currently in use and has been known to cause problems so I'd disable it.
Title: Re: Internet Issue Post by: The Truth on September 29, 2012, 04:09:31 pm Tried that, still having the problem.
Title: Re: Internet Issue Post by: The Truth on October 01, 2012, 11:04:46 am OK, it seems the problem is with my router.
Title: Re: Internet Issue Post by: MsRowdyRedhead on October 01, 2012, 02:10:34 pm That's easy to fix...
I have a Cisco-Linksys E2000 Advanced Wireless-N Router and am very happy with it. We have a huge house and it works everywhere. Title: Re: Internet Issue Post by: The Truth on October 01, 2012, 09:07:53 pm Yeah, but Wireless AC will be release sometime next year, so I'd rather not get a new router until then.

Title: Re: Internet Issue Post by: The Truth on October 01, 2012, 09:18:08 pm Thanks, but not sure that's in my price range right now.
Title: Re: Internet Issue Post by: MsRowdyRedhead on October 01, 2012, 09:20:37 pm Mine either...
