As my router's died, I'm currently using my laptop to run an ad-hoc wireless network. Its connected to my cable modem via ethernet, and is using the wireless card to let my PC connect to the network. And its working great, except for the fact that it seems to drop every 5 minutes or so, then reconnect after 10 seconds. This is making gaming impossible, and most other things extremely frustrating. Is there any possible reason it could be doing this?
I've set the laptop to the best performance power state, and I have 4 bars signal strength, so its not that.
Both the PC and Laptop are running Win7, and I disabled the firewall on the laptop as well, so there shouldn't be anything getting in the way. Any ideas why its still so iffy?
