Wireless connection constantly drops
I have a Netgear Rangemax Wireless Router and the wireless connection to my laptop constantly drops. By constantly I mean every 10 minutes or so. The connection is unsecured because I couldn't even get it work as a secured connection. We have Vonage phone service so I also have a Linksys router that it is linked to. I have the phone and router as far apart as I can get them which is only about 3 feet or so. I did try completely disconnecting the phone and it still dropped after 5 minutes. The wireless and Internet lights on the router are constantly blinking. It's getting impossible to do anything and any suggestions would be appreciated. I tried contacting Netgear but they haven't been much help so far. Thanks!

Re: Wireless connection constantly drops
First off, do you have other wireless networks or 2.4ghz wireless phones around? Interference can cause this sort of issue. If you are using a 3rd party wireless client on the wireless workstations, you need to disable WZC or they'll fight it out.
How about some additional details? Make/model of the broadband modem. Make/model of the router. Make/model of network card or wireless adapter. Make/model of your computer. Version and patch level of Windows, i.e. XP-Home SP2.

Re: Wireless connection constantly drops
We do have a cordless phone about 3 feet from the wireless router - I'm not sure if it's 2.4ghz though. I cannot move the phone because it is also hooked to our broadband router for our Vonage phone service.
Make/model of the broadband modem Motorola SB5101 Surfboard Cable modem Make/model of the wireless router. Netgear Ranegmax Wireless Router WPN824v2 Make/model of the broadband router. Linksys RT31P2 Boradband router Make/model of network card or wireless adapter. Intel Pro Wireless 3945ABG Network Connection Make/model of your computer.

Re: Wireless connection constantly drops
Well, the cordless phone is one of the top suspects for wireless interference...
