Adding to my other issues is I have a problem with my SSID disappearing.
My laptop (only wireless device) will be connected. Maybe for hours. I will notice the yellow star over the wireless icon. Checking on networks will show my SSID is no longer visible.
Other wireless networks are visible so I believe that rules out a problem with NIC.
The only way to get my SSID back is to turn wireless off and on (router has a wireless off/on button so I don't need to turn the whole router off/on). Then my SSID is back and the laptop reconnects.
Googling the issue refers to lockout behavior and perhaps the saved settings on the router are corrupted. So I deleted my wireless network from the laptop and rebooted. Reset the router and reconnected.
Any ideas why this is occuring? I don't think it is interference. I still see other networks. So it has to be something with the router. Netgear WNR2000v3. But what?
