    ANybody else have trouble with their wireless connection? I have a 3225HS. The wireless connection randomly cuts out repeatedly. SOmetimes my connectino will last 5 mins before it cuts out, sometimes as long as 35 mins to an hour. It never stays disconnected for more than a minute at most before reconnecting, but the constant cutting out is a real PITA. Any comments? help?

    I would start with either looking for an updated wireless driver or removing and re-installing the one you have now.

    I have the same problem. I called tech support and was told that it might be an inference with my 2.4Ghz cordless phone. I've since bought a 5.8Ghz phone and have experienced the phenomenon much less frequently. My up-stairs neighbor still has a 2.4Ghz phone which might be what is still causing the problem.

    Do you live near or on top of a business that uses microwaves? Microwave ovens will cause the same type of interference. You may also want to change your channel the router is using. My performance was decreasing and when I ran NetStumbler, I found 6 other networks all crowding the same channel. I changed and performance is much MUCH better.
