I am having an issue with my wireless card. Every 30 to 31 minutes I lose my internet connection and then regain connection about 1 minute later. Ive already replaced my wireless router so that is not the issue. Ive logged the times when I have the issue and the times are:
9:21am, 9:52am, 10:23am, 10:53am, 11:24am...etc
Anybody have any clue on how I can fix this?
I am using Belkin Wireless G Plus MIMO and I have a dell with a pre draft-N network card.
The strange thing is that the connect doesnt disconnect randomly. It is every 30 minutes.

Check and see when your connection refreshes the IP address. Sounds to be like the router might be handing out a new addresses every 30 minutes. Have you tried plugging directly into the modem? I'm might be wrong on some of the terminology, but look at the DNS refresh, and just in general other settings in your router.

i'm guessing it has something to do with the WPA settings. i'm guessing ur uinge WPA-PSK (Wi-Fi Protected Access Pre-Shared Key) option to secure your network, and u set the key-lifetime to renewed every 30 minutes.
it could have been the incompatibilities between those two "draft" devices, so when they are renewing the key those two cards just wont talk to each other properly, this is of course, just an educated guess.
Could be what vespoli said too, i'm guessing this is because those 2 card incompatibilities also.
Because the 802.1n standard is still in its infancy, problems between different cards manufacturer is not a rare occurances. they're settling draft 2.0 several days ago, which ensure compatibilities with the final 802.1n. in 2009?. -
I havent tried plugging my computer directly to my modem yet. If it is an issue with the WPA settings. what should I change to fix this?

Check you lease time for your LAN settings, it may be set at 30 min. This is in lew of the WPA.

How do I check my lease time on my LAN settings?
Also, I never mentioned that I have a cable modem from timewarner if this means anything
Drop wireless connection every 30minutes!!
