    Does anyone know why, and how to make it so I can make it not need to repair itself?

    Ive been in the same office during the 4~5 reboots. works great and connects great once I get on...but reboot and Im internet less unless I doa repair or get a ethernet cable.

    Im pretty good with computers, albiet I loathe and am a completely ignorant to networks and wireless stuff.

    Stuff like this baffles me....

    If it's a wireless connection you're talking about then there is a simple solution to your rebooting wo's. Just deactivate the wireless card before rebooting an turn it back on after finished rebooting.

    Just something else to Phillip's suggestion, try updating your drivers for your wireless card.And look to see if you've windows and your wireless card are both enabled at the sametime they could conflicting with each other.

    ah, I was just about to mention that, oh well, try what Reeszin14 said first, if that doesn't seem to fix things then just do what I suggested earlier.
