wireless network drops occasionally

Hi,

I was wondering why my wireless network connection drops every now and
again, I think it re-connects itself but a ballon message pops up down where
the clock is saying I''m connected and have excellent signal strength.

It doesn't always happen but enough to ask why and what to do to sort it out
?

Thanks

Cheap shitty equipment? Something generating interference?

You may need to change the channel on your wireless network as it
sounds like there is something interfering with the signal, more than
likeley on an adjacent channel.
What router do you have?

Using a netgear something or other, not sure anything near it would bother
it ...

Might be worth changing the the channel just to prove it, there are
some many home wireless networks that could affect yours.
Reminds me of the old days with analogue cordless phone, you could get
problems if your neighbour was on the same frequencey
