Network randomly disconnecting?

[equippedbum]

Ok, so I'm connecting to a router about 20 feet away from my Linksys WUSB11 Wireless-B USB Network Adapter.

 

I'm using Windows 8.1.

 

When I open up the network connection there's usually 2 versions of the same router...ie/ Network1(strong signal)____Network1(weak signal).

 

One has a super strong signal and the other is very weak...I only have 1 router?

 

Anyhow, the strong signal will just die/disappear out of nowhere and then reappear...while the weak signal is constant.

 

What's going on?

Two access points. Make sure your wireless card drivers are up to date.

what makes the one die out randomly?

Could be a lot of things, are there overlapping wireless channels around you?

Do you have two networks setup (2.4ghz + 5.0ghz) I found that my Intel wireless card is not able to keep a stable 5Ghz connection at all and so it drops.... you can imagine how annoyed i am about this but there is nothing I can do about it until Intel fix it.

 

Either that or you have lots of AP's using the same channels as you.

I do have my Galaxy Tab on and connected...

You need to point your AP to your router and assign it a static IP address.

 

For example:

 

192.168.1.1 = Router

192.168.1.2 = Linksys WUSB11

 

Make your DHCP pool on your router = 192.168.1.3 and >

 

Turn off DHCP (if applicable) on your Linksys WUSB11, make the default gateway the IP of your router (192.168.1.1), assign static wifi channels to your router and your AP (optional) and assign the same SSID and pw and you should be able to run both on the same network seamlessly.

 

Edit:  Also, you may need to have both the router and Linksys WUSB11 set to WEP as the WUSB11 doesn't support WPA etc.

Lets see... make sure you are broadcasting in channel 11, your router signal may be disrupted by other devices  broadcasting in the same channel as you. next, make sure you are only using 1 DHCP server! If you have your router connected to a wireless modem, the modem may have DHCP enabled. so just make you sure you are only using one. Another thing you can try is to change the IP lease time. It is usually set to like 3600 min by default. I change it to 10000. I dont think the last part matters. but i have had networks where the ip expires and the DCHP gives that ip to another device.
