Hello,
I have XP Home SP2 bundled with my notebook and my notebook has
Broadcom BCM4318 wi-fi adapter on it.
And i have US Robotics Wireless router. I'm having frequent wireless
drops which are not notified with in "taskbar" or in "event log".
For example, when wireless connection drops between router and
adapter, the wi-fi taskbar icon is still seemed as "connected" and
connection time counter contiunes to count seconds as well. Also i'm
using Broadcom's 3rd party wireless software with same drop-
notification-free symptom.
I tried plenty of workarounds to get rid of wi-fi drop with no
success; At first times i was thinking the wireless drops were because
of bad notebook or router positioning, then i brought notebook and
router into the same room with resulted same drop problem. Also i
tried all channels 1,6,11 with no help.
I tried these resulted with no help:
1-Moved router and notebook into the "same" room (signal strength
reported "perfect", signal level goes around -50 to -65dbi)
2-Disabled WZC(Wireless Zero Configuration), used Broadcom's native Wi-
fi utility.
3-Uninstalled-Reinstalled drivers of Wi-fi
4-Removed "my" cordless phone to have a test, but i cannot intervene
to my neighbour's wireless networks or devices(phones, ovens) as it's
their freedom of living.
***The only soultion to get rid of this frequent drop problem is to
click XP's "repair" connection button, or disabling - re-enabling
wireless connection brings wi-fi to life.
Any useful help will be aprreciated so much as last chance.
Regards...
