I have a new HP desktop and a 10-month old Toshiba laptop, both running Windows 7 Home. I was hoping to improve my wireless speed, so I upgraded my Linksys Wireless-G router for a D-Link DIR-655.
My desktop (wired) runs great. My wireless printer, work laptop, and Wii all run fine, but they all use 802.11 G. My Toshiba laptop with the N drops my internet connection almost every time I hibernate it (or it goes to sleep). When I wake it up, it just keeps searching and searching. Often it even says "Connected" but "no internet access."
A few times, I've managed to re-connect by disabling and re-enabling the wireless adapter, but even that doesn't usually work. The only thing that always works is restarting it... which is really annoying if both my wife and I have several windows open that we were using.
The D-link customer support said my laptop's wireless adapter needs to be updated because it supposedly doesn't have the "saving capability" and it loses the router information when it hibernates. I have a Realtek RTL 8191SE adapter. My drivers are already completely updated, so I don't know what else to try.
Can anyone help?! Thanks very much!
