WiFi & Secure sites

I was wondering if anyone out there could help me. I have an HP laptop using Wifi for internet access. I'm having troubles accessing certain secure sites that I need to transfer data back and forth. Now I've changed the setting in the router from WEP to WPA and it seemed to let me access for a couple days, but now it has stopped again. The wierd thing is, that if I connect to the router threw an Ethernet cable the sites work 100% of the time. now the only thing I can think of is that it may be the router dropping the Wifi every once in awhile. If anyone could shed a little light on this matter it would be a great help.

Yet another reason why wired is superior to WiFi!
Do the secure sites require authentication? Certificates?
Are you having connectivity issues with the WiFi at any other times?
What error messages (if any) are you getting?

I can seem to access all other sites no problem. Havn't really noticed any WiFi drops. Just seems to be these sites. They also do require authentication.
