[QUOTE="iggibar, post: 1250856, member: 97843"] I have the same problem in my house. I have a 2Wire wireless modem from AT&T. I have tried every single encryption method, and they all give me the same problem. It disconnects countless times...just did it 10 seconds ago!... I only have this problem when I'm at home. The weird thing is that AT&T is one of the 2 major isp's in my neighborhood, and I have 2 friends who also have a 2wire modem, no macs, and still have internet problems associated with it disconnecting randomly. I can't even do anything about it because there's no other reliable isp. I have learned to move away from the computer when this problem comes up...relax. To EPIC MEAL TIME, To get into your modem settings, simply type "gateway.2wire.net" into your web browser. Then, click on "Home Network" on the top tabs. You will see a gray box that is titled "Status at a Glance." In it, click the edit settings on the wireless network. Depending on your security, you might have to enter a password to enter the settings. After the password is entered, you will get a new window that says "Configure the Wireless Network." Below it, you will find a "Wireless Security." Change the authentication to which ever you want besides the WEP one's. For simplicity, choose the "use default encryption key," which is the key found under the modem(sticker). Then just save and exit. It's worth a try. [/QUOTE]
