    So, we have a linksys router and I'm having trouble..

    When I connect I'll be connected to it for 60-90 seconds. After that it still says I'm connected, but I'm not. If I do "disable radio, enable radio" to reset the connection I'll reconnect for 60-90 seconds.

    It works just fine for my roommate and mine works just fine anywhere else. Any ideas?

    Is your profile on your computer correct? The password and security information?

    Is this something that just started happening or have you been able to connect to the router before with no problems?

    There's no security on it at all and it's always been like this.

    Well, I've had some people over lately and found that the problem may be with the router itself if that's possible as other people usually have at least some trouble with it.

    My drivers are all up to date and I'm using the Intel Proset Utility to connect.

    Does your room mate connect also using the Intel utility? Are you two using the same version of the utility? Have you tried connecting using Microsoft's Wireless Network Connection?
