| Post subject: | I keep losing my wireless connection |
I keep losing my wireless connection to my home network and the internet. After the PC starts up, the connection works fine for a while, but invariably, the connection gets lost (varies from ~2-24 hrs after bootup). Once I lose the connection, I can't SSH into the box any longer and have to reboot. This makes it difficult to troubleshoot as I can't access the box when the connection disappears. I know enough to get around Linux, but I have no idea how to begin to troubleshoot this. What log files should I look at? I would greatly appreciate any general steps I should take to troubleshoot this. Here are some hardware details: Router: Netgear WGR614 v4 Wireless card: Netgear WG311 v3 Driver: Ndiswrapper 1.13 Thanks in advance for any help! |

Do you have any other PC's wirelessly connected and do they experience the same issue? |

Yes, I have a Windows PC in the same room wirelessly connected using the same model of wireless card, and it works fine. |
