Evening, how is everyone?

been having some prboemmo's with my wireless connection.

While using it normally i lose connection about once an hour, which I can put up with.

However, when running anything heavy duty it seems to cut out my internet completely (For example just was going to have a look at WOW expansion, i can log on fine, then after about 30 seconds i get disconned from the internet)

Any idea's where to start even?>

hmmm. tried a reboot of your router?

could be to do with dhcp trying to re-assign your ip address every hour?
check for something like 'dhcp lease time' or 'client lease time' in your router setup or similar

or do a Start->Run-> type 'cmd'
and do 'ipconfig /all'

and note the 'lease obtained' and 'lease expires' times. for ideal usage, they should be 1 day apart

Try a firmware update. Also, disable uPnP if your router supports it. I had problems with my wireless router hanging, crashing and becoming sluggish when running bittorrent downloads, but upgrading the firmware and disabling uPnP (apparently buggy in some routers) fixed that.

The time I had the most trouble with a wireless connection -- intermittent drops and occasional resets -- it turned out to be an issue with the power source for the router providing spiky current flow. I put a heavier duty UPS on the circuit and 90% of the problems cleared up.

more serious

WLAN problem

It is a problem in Windows XP in combination with a wireless Internet connection.
There is a protocol that says: every minute, kill the Internet connection a second and look for a faster connection.
This is for problems with your connection. If you have an interference on the wifi, the speed goes down. But if Windows wouldnt check the speeds every minute, it could get stuck in a low speed. So every minute Windows kills the connection a second and looks for a faster connection.

It is called: the Wireless Zero Configuration-service
It is automaticaly turned on by Windows XP on startup, because it needs it to establish a Wi-Fi connection, but after the connection is established, it can be stopped/killed and then the pauses/glitches are gone.

We added a registry entry to windows to automaticaly kill the process after startup, but you can always do it manualy in the 'services' program of Windows. In the Services list, there is the Wireless Zero Configuration-service, stop that and the problem is solved!!

And this also is a big help when gaming online. Same problem, same solution.

So, for everyone with a wireless network with glitch problems, this is the solution: kill the Wireless Zero Connection-service after (!) startup.
Start-->Control Panel-->Admin Tools-->Services-->Wireless Zero Config Properties
-->General-->Services statu-->STOP-->Apply.
Note you can not set to disable as your network will never start but you can follow this tip below:
http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,1759,1566989,00.asp

OR edit Registry as follows:
Go to Run
type Regedit
Press OK

HKEY_CURRENT_USER
Software
Microsoft
Windows
CurrentVersion
Run
Add this key:
WZC-Killer REG_SZ "c:windowssystem32net.exe" stop WZCSVC
