help with wireless internet

hey,

i installed a wireless network today here at home and it works like a charm for my iphone and my sister's laptop.

for me however, it keeps disconnecting every couple of minutes (it's random).

we're all on windows xp.

i don't have any problems on other wireless networks.

the router is a D-Link DIR-615 (link)

i checked in the router's settings, but can't any 'fix this goddamn router' option :)

any thoughts/info/... would be appreciated.

cheers

thought that was the problem too...

but i'm alone on the network now, no iphone/other laptop and it still crashed
Parent
Your network card may be switching to "sleep mode" or whatever it is called. I have no idea how to disable that, google ftw this time ^^
Parent
then why doesn't it do it on any other wireless?
Parent
It's set to off there by default I guess.
Parent
had that too
happen if the computers are connected to not secure network or if the distance is too great (in my case it was both xD)
it is secure, and i'm sitting pretty close to it...
Parent
how much is "pretty close"?
and floor lvl?
Parent
first floor, right on top of it.

i bought this router cuz it should be able to cover this distance easily.

my iphone has no problems from here and my sister is further away and has no problems.
Parent
sry mate, farther than that i cant help you
Parent
Did you try to get close to it with your Wireless receiver? What signal power does windows reports?
i was gonna try it in 5minutes.

when i'm upstairs it shows 4 outta 5 bars and says: very high
Parent
Downstairs is ok?
