LinkSys Router WRT54GS with WPC54GS NIC

I bought a LinkSys pack, Router and wireless NIC, all was setup
correctly on Window XP systems and I used the driver came withthe
device(s), but now every now a then my laptop can't connect to the
router OR internet, sometime the repair does the trick and get me
connected but quite often repair doesn't fix it and I had to shutdown
and restart my laptop, if shutdown doesn't fix it then I turn of anf on
the router, but since yesterday all my troubleshooting failed and I
can't get my laptop to work, any ideas what migt be causing this.

System info:
Desktop: Windows XP pro SP2
Laptop: Windows XP home SP2
Router: LinkSys: WRT54GS
Wireless Network card: WPC54GS

Thanks

No, but I have same problem and saimilar experiences with same router
and system And laptop is only 25-30 ft from router.

I wonder if intervening floors, maybe ducts in between, make a
difference.

I don't know, I live in a two story house, nothing fancy, builder
build, ducts in between the floor, doesn't it just normal for any two
story build.
Have to talk to LinkSys support?

I've heard of wireless home phones affecting the connection . Phones that
operate at 2.4 Ghz, the same as your router may be interfering. I
occasionally have the same problem. I suspect my neighbor has such a phone.
My router is up against a wall that we share.

Just a thought.

If not the phone or some other 2.4Ghz device, suspect next Windows XP itself.
It seems to think that it knows better than the hardware manufacturers when it
comes to device drivers, etc.
