Wireless connection 'dies out' after 15 minutes

Hi All,

I just got a new Dell Latitude x 300 laptop with Dell Truemobile 1400
Dual Band Wireless PCI card (working with winXP). The wireless
connection works perfectly at work, but at home when I connect to our
DSL connection through a Linksys Wireless B router, the connection
speed starts out fine, but then drops to almost 0 mbps after approx.
15 minutes. Pinging mostly results in no response, or a response after
14 ms. Also, the connection speed (despite Excellent signal strength)
drops from 11 Mbps to 1 Mbps.

It doesn't matter really how many computers are online at the time
(total of 3 of which 2 wireless), when I use the cable, the speed is
perfectly fine again, and when I start up my old laptop with Linksys
wireless B card, it also works perfectly.

Find it really strange that it just cuts out, so please let me know if
you know about a solution, or have experienced the same.


Thanks! Rene

"Hi there

I had similar trouble and it turned out to be an XPism.

XP has its own wireless management system and it is possible that this and
your card management system are competing

Go to My Computer. Right click. 'Manage ---> 'Services and
applications' --> Services ---> Wireless Zero Configuration. Set start up
type to disabled.

Re start"

I also have a Dell w/ 1400 Truemobile, I change the channel to the same as my
router, and I also set mt associated preference to "prefer 802.11g/b, and under
disable bands "disable 802.11a"
