What is the brand make of the router, if its D-Link you are prone to it. If not please give additional details on what happens.

The short answer, because it's belkin.  I bought two belkin usb wireless adapters for my roomates and they are completely horrible! Very poor reception.   \nThe longer answer,  in what way does the adapter not work?  Is it simply not connecting to the router, is it not seeing the router?  Did the adapters ever work?  Did you change some configuration when they stopped worked.\n\nMy experience with the belkin usb wireless adapter says that they just randomly drop connections and loose their settings and it takes a good 5 minutes of running through the connection wizard 4 times to get it back up and running.\n\nIf your still within your return policy i would strongly recommend returning them and getting yourself a netgear set up (router and wireless adapters)  These things are awesome.  I've used a number of different brands of networking hardware and i find netgear to be the best, coming in a close second would be Linksys and close to that would be D-Link, anything else in my opinion is not even worth it (on the home consumer side of things)

It is because your computer is unable to get an IP address from the DHCP server, which is part of the router.\n\nI think you are in a home environment so here is the way; \ncheck your wireless router and try connecting it through ethernet cable. If the device seems to be fine then look for devices like microwaves, cordless phones and other devices which share the 2.4Ghz frequency range because they interfere in your wireless connection. If the device is not connecting even with the ethernet cable then try resetting your router.\n\nIf all fails, my friend, you need to maybe get it thouroughly checked by somebody who has knowledge.

WIred or wireless?\nIf WIreless make sure that you have the right WEP (look on the bottom of the router).\n\nIf wired, either cable or card could be bad.\nREset router and perform an IPCONFIG /RENEW on the computer.

check the cables, if not the best thing to do is to get a repeater, instead of the acces point,,, linksys has a good one for like $60

One issue with using a wireless connection is that if you are far away from the connection or there are many obstructions between your computer and the router (walls, floors, etc) your connection may not be very reliable. This is the most common cause of the behavior you're describing. Try moving your router and computer closer together or look into purchasing an additional wireless access point to extend the reach of your network.

Wireless modem? They obviously have no idea what they are talking about. They probably think you do not have wireless in your laptop. It is hard to tell what the problem is it could be the enycrption, or it might be that the router is only 11mbpsB.

Your DSL company probably will not give you any support on the router *unless* you bought it from them.\n\nHowever, it does sound like either:\n\n1.  A matter of plugging the wires up in the right place.\n2.  A configuration problem with your router.\n\nThe DSL modem obviously recognizes the router or you wouldn't be able to log on with either computer.\n\nAs an alternative, your router probably has four ports for computers, try pluggin in the non-working computer to a different port and see if you have a bad port.

Did you change the NIC? Or is this a new computer?\nCan you ping the modem?\nIf you change out the NIC, they are only $10-15, you may get an easy answer.\nIt could also be the driver for the NIC.\nChanged cable modem?? Why, was the old one bad?\nAre the settings in the modem correct?

It should look like this ....\n\nInternet cable from Westell Modem --> router\n\n- check your WEP encryption if enabled\n- did you install the drivers and set everything up in the main system?\n- Can the computer see the wireless router (visa versa)

Things to check for:\n1. Is the wireless access point connected to your router (unless the access point and the router are in the same unit)?\n2. Do both computers have valid IP addresses (and valid network masks and gateway addresses)?  These must either be set by hand, or else you set the computers for DHCP (but that only works if either the router or your ISP is providing the DHCP service -- to make the router offer DHCP service you would have to turn on "NAT" in the router).\n3. Can each computer ping the other?

This reminds me of a very similar problem I had with the D-Link wireless router.  I tried reinstalling the drivers for the wireless router itself to no avail.  I finally wound up taking it back in buying a Linksys router.  The problem never was with my laptop computer.  It was always in the wireless router.

What kind of Router are you using. Try to see if by upgrading the Firmware from the Manufacturer's website will fix the problem. Have you tried a different port on your router, it could be a defected port since your wireless portions is working fine. You can also try setting up a static ip address on your computer and see if you keep getting disconnected. Have you checked the Lease option on your Router to see how long they can have the Ip address that it sends out. Try setting up your computer first with a static ip address and see if that works for you if not update your Router with the latest firmware. If neither of those options work might be that your Router might be going bad, check if it is still under warranty and have it replaced but do the steps and see if that works for you.
