Recently I have tried using a NetGear WN311b wireless PCI adapter, with Windows 7-64 bit firmware and drivers, for my desktop to connect to my cable modem. My laptops are able to stay connected fairly regularly, but my desktop has been experiencing random disconnects. I had thought it was the hardware, but I am unsure as sometimes when the disconnect occurs, it will either reconnect to the lost network or completely lose the signal and require the WEP key to be input again.
I can figure out if this is a hardware issue, but Id like to get out the possibility of this being a software issue connecting to the network.
