I posted this in the Windows Discussion section but didn't receive any help:
When running Windows with Bootcamp I am frequently disconnected from my network as if I have unplugged something, although my roommate is still connected just fine. We're connected wirelessly and the wireless connection will just have that red x on it for a few seconds/minutes, or until i click on it and reconnect to our network. I have the latest Bootcamp and Windows updates, so what could be going wrong? This doesn't seem to occur when I'm running my iMac in OS X.
Someone mentioned that my security could be causing this, and I'm not sure if I want to disable this, as someone nearby could access our network and potentially our computers if I do. I opened the router's wireless security page and it looks like this:
Security Mode: WPA Personal (selected from drop down list)
WPA Algorithms: TKIP (selected from drop down list)
WPA Shared Key: mypassword
Group Key Renewal: 3600 seconds
Would adjusting any of these settings fix my problem or do I have to disable the security entirely?
