My Netgear MA111v2 keeps dropping connection to my router and then not
reconnecting.

Would anyone recommend a different USB wireless adapter that's better?

Are you sure it's your USB adapter, and not your router or computer?

Router works well with laptop so ruled that out.

Having done the obvious checks on PC I've decided cheaper to try another USB
than buy another computer.

Logical enough?

Have you tried the USB adapter on the laptop? Have you moved the PC nearer to
the router? What happens when it "drops out"? Are you doing anything
specific at the time? How do you make it reconnect? Are you using any kind
of encryption?

Yup been through all that. Changed things around, tried different encryption
etc.

I've managed to borrow another USB dongle so we'll see.

Thanks for the tips,

Dave
