Make sure power management is not shutting your wireless card down. See if there's a firmware update available for your router, apply it, and reset the router.

power management I already checked and firmware updates didn't work and/or make any difference this only happens when the wifi is on on the laptop and I did notice the service Wireless Zero Configuration was running on the desktop I disabled that because if my guess is right I don't need that while hard wired into the router
Well glc I 'll have to wait time will tell if anything I did will work over time Thanks for the reply anyways this forum still ROCKS |

If problems persist try hard wiring it. There could be interference (microwaves, other Wifis) and see if it carries on if so it's the router if not it's the wireless and report back.
