Hi Steve,
I have an ADSL 2+ router with AP feature connected to only my
notebook. John and you offer me to try notebook with a different AP or
hotspot? Am i right? (sometimes it's not easy to apply this idea, but
worth to try when conditions are possible). I also tried re-installing
adapter drivers latest.(Broadcom 3.46.100, i don't know newer,
researched). Also i didn't install and try with a USB adapter.

I tried disabling WZC and using Broadcom's self utility with no help.
No relationship about abnormal shutdowns and hibernations.

Also, how did you solve the problem of yours which is the same of me
Steve? As you experienced, it seems connected, but cannot ping anywere
including router. The only solid evidences i found are signalling
decreasements worse than -60dbi. And speed decreases to worse than
36mbps when problem occurs with no router and notebook placement
change.

So, How did you solve yours? (I don't think it's interference but i'm
not sure)

Thanks.
