My computer ALWAYS loses internet. I got a Linksys WUSB11 wireless adapter.
Typical Day: Im surfing the web, and the next thing i know connection is gone. Normally I would just unplug this thing and plug it back in, helps. But now I know that I can just put the wepkey in again and everything will go back to working.
This gets annoying. Any ideas? another thing: this ussually occurs when i have something downloading.

Make sure that IEEE 802.1X authentication is off. Do this by going to network connections, right click in the wireless connection and go to properties and go to the authentication tab and uncheck the one that says enable IEEE 802.1X. This is a very common problem with linksys.

If that doesn't work, sometimes there is an IEEE 802.1X authentication option on the router's settings. Check that.
