My wireless connection constantly drops and reconnects constantly every couple minutes even though it says that there is an excellent 54Mbps connection. I have an MSI MS-6834 802.11g wireless pci card. I'm using a Hawking HWR54G router. I have a dell d600 laptop with wifi and it works perfectly and never disconnects from its connection at the same area my desktop is. I have updated the firmware on the router and my wireless card. I tried the fix of disabling WZC and it still doesn't work. I also unchecked the Enable 801.x authentication. What to do???????????
