    For some reason, my wireless adapter kept diconnecting every once in a while today. Windows said it was connected but I had to click repair and even restart the laptop just to go to any site. I disabled the turn off this device to save power option and my router is working fine. I was running bitcomet and msn messengers before disconnection. I have a Broadcom 802.11g Network Adapter and my notebook is the Gateway MX7515. Is the network adapter broken?

    Always update the firmware and the drivers
    Whats your router
    And possibly your internet is going out or a very weak signal-possibly
