Hi.

The main PC on my network keeps losing its internet connection usually it's just not connected on boot up. Its a Windows 7 Pro x64 machine and the wireless card is Edimax EW-7727In nMax 300Mbs using the default drivers from the supplied disk (Windows hasn't found any new ones).

The internet is a standard Sky Wireless G modem/router. Due to issues with the mrs' laptop I've had to use WEP and have hidden the SSID.

I can usually get reconnected by running the trouble shooting wizard and it 'resets the adapter' and I'm online again but I don't get why it's doing it as it seems to be completely random on when it decides to cut out.

Weirdly its only the one PC that is affected as 2 laptops, 2 Android phones, 2 tablets and an Xbox have no connections what so ever.

Its not a massive problem but its really annoying!
 
Have you checked for new drivers on the Edimax site?

I'd start using WPA as soon as possible before some numpty abuses your network.
