Recently im experiencing problems with my m1530 while connecting to the wireless router. I do a lot of online stuff so my wifi is always on, but sometimes after a few hours it automatically dropps the connection and vista tells me no wireless connection is available. Im not sure if its vista's software conflict problem issues or is it with the wifi card i have on this laptop. My thinkpad/acer never had this problem before...tho the acer is acting up as well always telling me im connected to the same router twice...argh. Any ideas? Please help! Thank you.

Check your energy management CP and advanced port properties. May be lowering or turning it off.

Also, check out your router to see if it's having any ... personal commitment issues (i.e., it's dropping signals) - easy way is to see if you have a Belkin first, if so, then that's quite likely the source of your problem.
