    I have a MegaBook S270, my wife has a Compaq. When we both are using wireless my S270 keeps dropping connection and reconnecting.

    Any one else experience this type of issue when using wireless near other wireless laptops? Any ideas how to resolve?

    Thanks
    Chris

    1) Try updating your router's firmware (through router menu)
    2) Try updating your wi-fi card's drivers
    3) Run all the Microsoft system updates (windowsupdate.microsoft.com stuff)
    4) Try changing the radio frequency channel in the router menu
    5) Remove obstacles between router and notebook (usually not a big issue at all)
