Wireless N card signal randomly dropping out?
I bought this cheapo adaptor - http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=NW-014-OK&groupid=46&catid=1597&subcat= - a few days ago, and put it in my new build.
I then installed a fresh copy of W7 Ultimate and the speeds were nice seeing as I'm quite far from my router [30MBPS on speedtest.n].
I didn't install the driver as on a previous install of windows the driver seemed to kill it off completely (Randomly down to 1-2mbps then dc then up to 5 then dc etc)
Now it's started cutting out randomly. It'll be fine for 5 minutes or so then completely disconnect from my router and thus the internet, then it generally can re-connect straight away. When it's re-connected speeds are just as they were before disconnection..
It's like signal is interrupted or something?!
eh..
And if you're wondering; I genuinely know hardly anything about networking!
The router is a Virgin superhub thing
