I am on bedrest due to pregnancy complications, so my husband purchased
me an inexpensive laptop so I could browse the net, play games, email
etc.

For the first month or so the wireless connection was fine, but lately
it always is "low" or "very low" and often cuts out after about 10
minutes of starting the computer up.

We have a D-Link wireless router and the Lenovo laptop we have has an
Intel PRO/Wireless 3945ABG NIC.

I am considering saving all my files and just doing Lenovo's restore
utility, but before I try that, does anyone have some suggestions I
should try first?

The router is just in the next room over, so the issue isn't that the
laptop is trying to access the connection over a large distance.

Thanks for any suggestions,

Shaynelle
