Wireless problems

I got a USR5410 PCMIA card in my laptop and it used to work fine but recently now the internet cuts out, but the usr connection manager still reports that im connected perfectly fine with excellent signal strength. The only way i can get it to start working is if i reboot, although sometimes it randomly comes back.

I don't know why its doing this, its really annoying

I have uninstalled the drivers and installed them again but no luck at all.

Any ideas?

Have you updated the firmware of the card?

Might be worth a shot

There are no new firmware updates

I have the same card you see.

So you have the 125mbps upgrade? What router are you using. Anything changed in your location recently (new TV, radio, microwave). Also, might be worth installing the original 'shipped' driver and utility from here at the bottom of the page, reset your router to factory defaults and then see how things go.
