Since yesterday my wireless connection's been acting weird....
keeps disconnecting from internet, yet the internet status on the windows bar tells me its connected and working...
once it disconnects I have to manually disconnect wireless internet and reconnect again, then
it starts working again......but it randomly disconnects again without any reasons that i could see
it could be 2 minutes, 10 minutes, or even in couple clicks on web pages
Why is it doing this?? helpppp
I can't play on-line game like this xD

First, remove the wireless from the equation. Connect via cable.
The symptoms you describe could also be your internet connection/(cable/dsl)modem -
Does it do this on any other wireless networks, if so then it might either be the card or the drivers.
What kind of signal strength are you getting? It could be that you are getting a strong enough signal for the laptop to show connected but not enough of a connection for data to move across.
Also, do you have any other wireless devices connected to it? Do they have the same issues? -

You should do a Power Reset on your Router - it's typical of many routers to get occasional glitches and need a power reset to clear them. I need to do mine at least once every other week since I'm on the 'net constantly as a consultant and I'm also a heavy online gamer, so my Router gets a lot of data flow.
If that doesn't do it (though it should) you can also do a firmware reset with the current version of the firmware you're using. Make sure you backup the current Router settings so you can reload them once you do it. Download the revision (or a new one if available) then perform the update procedure via the Router Admin Panel. This procedure is standard Linksys Support procedure for all of their Routers for customers who have connection or signal issues.
On the system/adapter side, consider if you've updated drivers or had any Windows updates recently. If so, go back to an earlier Restore Point before the update to see if it helps the problem or uninstall the updates with the Windows Update uninstall tool. Always remember that updates aren't necessarily all good for you. Last WU I did caused a Windows Boot failure - fortunately the auto-restore point in the startup cleared the updates and got me back to normal fairly quickly, but you know that feeling you get when your system won't boot and your life suddenly sucks big-time. -
It could be your internet connection.... I agree with using an ethernet cable first to eliminate the wireless adapter.
