Wireless Modem Geekfest Tuesday..

PROBLEM: Over the last several months,I have been experiencing ever increasing instances of being unceremoniously 'bumped' from my wireless modem connection.
Once or twice a week,and for no apparent reason,I'd suddenly get the pop-up message, 'Unable to connect to preferred wireless network'.
No connection..No Internet.
I'd re-boot my computron,and everything would be fine...for a while.
As time went on,this escalated to 3 or 4 times a week,then once a day,then 2 or more times a day,..until last Sunday,I was disconnected no less than ten times!

Well,enough of this crap!

Since Lizzard King wasn't having any problems staying connected,I decided the problem wasn't with the modem,but rather an internal malfunction with my laptop.

It may be that some of you have experienced this exercise in aggravation.
If so,I'll spare you the FOUR FREAKIN' HOURS of hunting,and pecking,and searching through every diagnostic and troubleshooting procedure under the sun!..and walk you through the 'Wireless Connection Repair' procedure myself.

NOTE: You must be connected to the Internet to correct the problem,so I strongly suggest you do this before it gets too far out of hand.
I was getting bumped the whole time I was diagnosing,and finally accomplished
the task within a five minute window of opportunity!

Step #1
From the 'Start' menu,select 'Connect To',and choose 'Show all connections'..




Step #2
Right click on the wireless modem connection icon..


Step #3
From the pop-up window,select 'Properties'..



Step#4
You'll see your modem listed under 'Connect Using'..Select 'Configure'..


Step #5
In the next pop-up window,select 'Driver'..




Step #6
Next window,..click on 'Update Driver'..


Step #7
Choose to let windows search for the update on-line,and then click 'Next'..




Lickity-Split the program found,and downloaded the driver update,..and I haven't had any problems since!

I'm using the WINDOWS XP operating system...VISTA users should still find the process the same,or similar enough to figure out your own damm self.

..Have a great week kids!
