Can't connect the WIFI on new 16F3 (Intel 2230N)

I got my new 16f3 from GenTech and I got all the drivers installed (after downloading them from the internet because the driver cd must have been mistakenly forgotten) but for the life of me I cannot get the WIFI to connect to my router. The drivers installed fine, then I also updated them to the latest ones through Intel. It sees my network and I type in my password but it never will connect to the network. Has anyone else had a problem like this? Normally I forgo the connection managers from different companies and use the default windows connector, but for the life of me I can't remember how to do that right now lol.

~Edit~

As soon as I went downstairs (I was sitting right next to the router) and plugged in again it connected, go figure!

~Edit 2~

It dropped the connection after about 15 min and didn't want to connect again, UGH!

 

That then sounds like a router issue to me.

 

Cheap stock wireless cards normally have connection strength issues unless the notebook is close to the router and not having walls and floors between the notebook and router.

Install the FREE inSSIDer app and fire it up.

Now walk around your location watch the connection strength in inSSIDer.

Is your router a 300Mbps model?

In your router setup choose a good channel if there's alot of wireless networks around your home.

Set the router security to WPA2 AES.

Is your router a simultanious duel-band 300Mbps or 450Mbps.

A better wireless card,possibly with a 3rd antenna,and better router may eventually be needed if you want better connection strength and no disconnects in more areas of your home.
