    Hey farmerhugh

    That does sound odd! Before you go out and spend money, I believe we do still have some D-Link routers in stock here. I can send you a free router from our warehouse and see if that fixes your problem? Let me know!

    Thanks

Remember that a laptop will have two adaptors, one for wired and one for wireless.

here are mine (Win7)

Wired on the left, wireless on the right.


Clicking on an adaptor opens the screen on the left:

Clicking "properties" in the left screen opens the screen on the right. In the right hand screen select the "Power Management" tab,

Remember to do this on both the wired and wireless adaptors.
