3 laptops losing internet connections, multiple access points

[tkamenick]

3 out of the 4 laptops at my home suffer a very particular problem:

Wireless connections drop, and die.  I will be connected to my home wireless network (with WEP protection) and websites won't come up, connections to online games are severed, and this happens before the wireless symbol changes from it's normal blue circle to the red X, or sometimes first to the yellow triangle before going to the red X.  Occasionally websites will come back up on refreshes before the signal symbol ever changes.  Sometimes I will get a reconnect without doing anything.  Sometimes I can reconnect manually.  Sometimes I try to reconnect manually and I just get a generate "Windows cannot connect" message.  Sometimes (and this is most disturbing) no wireless networks even show up, Windows can't find any.  Turning off my wireless adapter and turning it back on will NOT help, the only fix is to restart the computer.   The problem is very intermittent - I can go for hours without seeing a problem, I might have one disconnect and then nothing else for a while, or it can disconnect and reconnect 5-10 times in the span of an hour.

I have verified this with three networks - my home network, my school's network (unsecured, but requires a user name and password), and a completely unsecured coffee shop network.

Here are the three computers and their stories

#1 - Asus R1F convertible laptop with Windows Vista Premium (purchased in summer 2007).  The problem started about 2 weeks ago.

#2 - MSI Wind netbook with Windows Vista Home (purchased Christmas 2008).  Has never come into contact with the Asus (e.g., via USB or ethernet cable) except over the network.  Problem started shortly after Asus started.

#3 - Gateway C-143XL with Windows Vista Ultimate (purchased a week ago).  Because my Asus was having many mechanical functions, this was meant to replace the Asus.  I used an easy transfer cable to move everything to this computer, but before I did that, being aware of the internet problems, I installed a paid anti-virus (AVG).  Immediately after transferring files, I started to have the same internet problems.

I thought it might be router problems (Linksys WRT54GL), except for (a) it's happening elsewhere now, and (b) the whole "can't find any networks" problem

The only major thing I can think of in common between the MSI Wind & the Asus/Gateway is that both installed Zune software right at that time, and Zune was installed on the Asus first, the Wind a few days later (two different Zune players have been used as well).  I seem to recall a period when I was D'Ling tons of music from Zune that I kept constantly having the internet problems as well.

Ok on to following the steps under "Read this before requesting malware removal help"

Step A - I had AVG installed since I first started running this computer
Step 1 - I had already done an add/remove program check.  I recognize everything
Step 2 - House cleaning ran fine
Step 3 - WARNING - SuperAntiSpyware would not complete a scan.  It looked like it got caught in an infinite feedback loop of some kind for over an hour, it looked like it was in Firefox, I could see it flash by, and it would "rest" for about 3/4 of a second on a file called xul.dll (or maybe xull.dll) before starting over.  Occasionally it would break the loop and I would notice a file path that looked like:

C:\Documents and Settings\Users\Application Data\Application Data\Application Data\Application Data (etc.)

I canceled it and started it over, but had the same problem.  For some reason it made a log for the second try, but not the first.  I include it below

Step 4 - Nothing was found with Mbam
Step 5 - I had to upgrade from 6-7 to 6-10, I think, and re-ran CCleaner
Step 6 - I did the HijackThis stuff as described.

Please help!

Thank you!

I don't see anything to indicate a malware problem.

Do you think your router or a reciever could be going bad?

[tkamenick]

I would have thought the router was the problem until I ran into problems at school, especially.

The big thing that worries me is that when the disconnects happen, I am sometimes unable to even FIND a wireless connection at all.

For example - I disconnected from my school's network about 2 hours ago.  When I tried to reconnect, I got the message saying Windows Cannot Find any Wireless Networks.  I shut down the laptop and restarted it, and when I turned it back on, I could see several networks as well as the school's that I reconnected to.  I have talked to other people who have been disconnected from school the same time as I have, which would be reassuring, except for not being able to find other networks.  Possibly though, now that I think about it, the other networks I can see might be school ones as well, just not the ones that students sign into, so those might have gone down at the same time as the main one did.

Actually, I've been successful staying connected to my HOME network with turning off Windows Firewall.  I got that advice after some online chatting with a Linksys rep.

I didn't have a disconnect on this computer all weekend long.  I didn't try the Asus.  But I'm still worried because (a) I had the weird disconnect here at school (which may be benign), and (b) my wife's netbook had a couple disconnects from the home network.

Now that I've talked myself through it a bit, it seems less worrisome.  I'll monitor the netbook and try the Asus (all with Windows firewall off) and see if anything triggers.

Thanks for the vote of confidence that there aren't any real problems, though!

I'm not the best at working through networking issues in a forums setting but it does sound like something might not be configured right.

If it continues start a new topic in the Networking forum and I'm sure someone will have some good ideas.

Thanks!
