Solved Keep losing wireless connection, have to disable and enabl

Every so often (it could be 5 minutes or an hour) I lose my connection. Then I have to disable and enable my wi-fi adapter (a Linksys USB adapter) to get it to work again. Usually that works until the next disconnection. However, sometimes even when I disable and enable it won't work for a few minutes of waiting and disabling and enabling again. I can connect to either a 5ghz connection or a more standard connection (I can't remember the ghz.. I think it's 2.2-2.4 or something), but I have the same problem either way. I've been having this problem for the past couple weeks or so. Before that I had the exact same connection set up and didn't have the problem.

Here's what it looks like when I'm connected:






Here's what it looks like when I get disconnected:





Finally, here's what it looks like when I disable the wi-fi adapter:




Any help would be much appreciated.

[Edit: I added some information here, but I had it slightly wrong.]

Things I've tried:

-Resetting computer
-Resetting modem
-Resetting router
-New wireless adapter

No changes to the problem.

First, make sure you have latest driver installed here (click on the hardware version): Linksys Official Support - WUSB6300 Downloads



Then be sure all power saving features are turned off for your USB ports and WiFi adapter in Device Manager and Advanced Power settings.

Thanks! I believe that did the trick (haven't had the problem for about 24 hours or so).

Glad it worked.
