Thumbs down How to monitor network connection

I just had the system board and internal wireless card replaced on my Toshiba Portege Tablet. (The card is Intel.)

Although I have no problems connecting to my wireless network, my connection completely drops at times - and then comes back. I have 5 other PCs on the wirelenss network and am NOT having any challenges with any of them.

Is there a piece of software (preferably freeware) that I could use to test how stable my connection is? I guess I'd need something that would monitor the connection and then I'd look at a report after a period of time... Because the drop is so inconsistent, I think the way to determine if there's a challenge is to use monitoring software.

I'm also open to other suggestions.

Thanks in advance for any help.

Dave

You could try Netstumbler. It might have some stuff to help you monitor your connection. But I think its mostly for monitoring signal strength. Give it a try.
