I had that problem with Netgear wireless adaptor... the WPN111 which
allowed you on with no connection problems for 10minutes, then without any
warning dropped out. It didn't matter if there was large amounts of data
going through it or not. My solution was to find an older version of the
software and as soon as it would let me, dump the netgear wizard and carry
on with windows installation.
What model number is your router though?
