Intel 2200BG Wireless Adapter disconnecting / slow (S3XP)

benoutram — Sat, 04 Jun 2005 14:28:42 GMT

Hello,

The wireless adapter in my S3XP is disconnecting about once every 3 minutes and its really starting to annoy me! The adapter is the Intel 2200BG.

The network is ad-hoc and the other wireless adapter is a Linksys WUSB11 situated right next to the notebook.

I've read on other forums that lots of people are having the same problem. Just wondering if anyone here has a problem with their Sony? Has anyone got a fix?

Thanks.

I think it must be a Windows bug. I had the same problem with my D-Link Wlan card, after a systemrecovery. A second systemrecovery has fixed the problem.:smileyconfused:

But I have no idea, what was wrong.

Try un-checking the 802.x authentication box. Worked for me on my T2XP.

I had a problem like you before, but I know what had happened. I have find the way to fixed the problem.

When you use the Wi-Fi for the internet, did it appeared like (more than one networks were found)? then about 3 minutes later it disconnecting.

Consider that it may be a software problem.

Check if the setings of Outlook are affecting your system. It may be checking for e-mails every few minutes and trying to disconnect.

I have tried all the suggested updates but no sucess!

If I use an external Wirelss Adapter from Belkin I have no disconnction problems at all.

I have spoken to Sony support and they do NOT know of any such issue affecting all S3HP laptops.

They said if I sent it in to Sony they would test connecting my laptop to another one to confirm if there was a problem with my network card. They would NOT try to connect my computer to a wireless router since they say they do not supply the router.

They suggested I take my laptop into a Sony store and try to conduct this test of connecting to another laptop there. I will do this when I get a chance and let you know the outcome.

Upgrading the driver has stopped mine from fluctuating between 1.0Mbps and 11.0Mbps. Its now at 11.0Mbps whenever I've checked. The frequency of the little window popping up to tell me that the wireless network has reconnected has decreased from around every 5 mins to about once every half an hour. I'm still having trouble using Skype. Apparently i'm cutting out all the time.

i used to get this problem on my vaio (VGN-195VP) all the time... it happened when just on the net but it also made online gaming a nightmare

after looking for ages for a solution i found
this on the valve website (one of the game makers) it is a specific soulution to the connection freezing during the game but it also fixed my normal internet connection so hopefully it will help you out. the programme they recommend works perfectly on my vaio so you should have no problems with it if you choose to use it

Has any one solved this problem yet? I have not and I am still using an external adaptor instead.

Alternatively, is there anyone who has an Intel 2200BG Wireless Adapter or a S3HP who does NOT have this problem?

I've found that a number of Wireless adapters have problems of this sort, not just on Sony kit.

If you deselect the 802.1 control I find that this seems to sort the problem in most cases.

Good luck!!

Try this: (It has improved my connectivty but it is still not perfect!!!)

Right click "My Computer", "Properties", "Hardware" Tab. Select "Device Manager", goto "Network adaptors". right click "Intel PRO/Wirless 2200BG", "Properties", "Advanced" Tab, in "Property" goto "Power Management" & change value to "Highest".

I hope you can follow this OK! Let us know if this helps....
