Dodgy wireless connection makes XP freeze

Kenmcfa · 10-21-2007, 12:27 PM

I have quite a weak signal on my wireless network, which quite often drops and is then re-established by itself. Other times, i get a "limited or no connectivity" notification, and other times I get an "excellent" connection speed. And this is with my computer staying still. However, sometimes (and its always when my PC is connected to the network), my computer freezes. Completely. I don't get an error message or anything, just the computer stops, with a frozen screen. What can I do to fix this?

Edit: To give an example of how unreliable my connection is, it took 2 reconnection attempts to post this message.
