Have you installed anything that might affect it?

Firewall, Anti-Virus etc?

have you tried updating to the latest firmware for your router?

what version of windows do you have xphome/xp pro?

What encryption method are you using?

What are you using to manage the wireless connection? Windows or the Driver software?

Tried a different wireless channel?

Tried it with the Speed Booster disabled? Is the wireless adapter in the PC the same manufacturer as the router?

Disable power management for this deivce in windows. t could be that it is being teporarily switchd off via the usb bus to save power when idle.

if it's possible there will be a setting for it in control panel under the device in device manager
