MN-520 wireless adapter intermittent connection

I'm using a Netgear router. Every 3 minutes the MN-520 wireless adapter
looses it's connection. After 3 minutes it reconnects on its own. When I use
my Netgear USB wireless adapter with the same laptop there are no
disconnects. Any ideas?

Which OS? If you are running Windows XP do you have SP1 installed?

If the first question is Windows XP & the second one is yes you may have
802.1x authentication enabled on the wireless network adapter that
applies to the MN-520. You will want to disable this feature of Windows XP.

XP Pro, SP1

And yes I had 802.1x authentication enabled. Now it's disabled and the
problem is gone. Thank you very much for the prompt and correct solution.

The problem was your router doesn't support 802.1x authentication. Most
routers geared to home users don't support. If any router supports that
feature I'm not yet aware of it.
