    Ok, I just receive my D-LinkAir DI-514 Wireless Router from tigerdirect today. I set it up to use with my laptop, which has build in wireless card...

    For some reason, the wireless connection keep on disconnecting and than reconnecting again~ The signal is excellent and the wireless card works fine when I use in on campus... Is it something I set wrong with the wireless router??

    Can you set the channel to "Auto"? If there is no such a option on the menu, you may try manually set the channel other than "6" to see if it works fine.

    Just a quick thought that the channel you are using may overlap with others.

    Hope someone can give you further help
