My wifi loses the network almost as soon as connected.
Hardware info:
Pavillion G7 1150us, product number LW320UA #ABA
Network card info:
Ralink RT5390 802.11b/g/n WiFi Adapter
Problem description: i manually configure the network, the wireless logs on with good to excellent connection, then within a minute loses the connection to the internet. if the network is hidden, it does not seem to even be able to find it again although when i check the manager it is listed. it will consistently find the network if it is visible and will connect but be unable to stay connected to the internet.
Steps i've taken: testing in different places with different networks... consistent across networks of known strenghth and connectivity (ie, my other computer connects to them without any issues and has an excellent signal.)
Updated drivers
reinstalled the driver from recovery manager
I read something elsewhere about there being an issue with this model having problems of this type. i would buy a new WiFi card, but if the problem is with the motherboard it would be ineffective.
Any ideas for me, or further information?
