Wireless internet disconnects?

Wireless internet disconnects?
I have broadband internet through a cable modem that is connected to an AP . My notebook has built-in wireless adapter, and i am about to use the internet on the notebook max. 7 meters away from the AP (so the distance is not big). The problem is i can connect to the AP (the AP gets the signal from the cable modem with DHCP),,and my connection is “excellent”, 54 Mbps, but the internet disconnects every 1, 2, 3, 4, minutes or so, it depends…. but as soon as it is disconnected, it will reconnect again, and then disconnects again in about 3 minutes, then reconnects, etc, etc…. what do you advise i should do? give a fix IP? what ? When doing a ping test on the gateway address, only 2 percent is lost. All right, the AP is placed 20 centimeters from a scanner, pc speaker, printer, but can there be so much interference?!! What should i fix or set?

Best answer:

probobly something is interrupting the line, E.g cell phone, something else wireless, bluetooth adapter all of those things can interact with a wireless signal, try not to use these things and maybe it will get better.

    Hello,
    1. Obtain your MAC address from doing an ‘ipconfig /all’ (without quotes): Click START choose RUN and type CMD in the box and click OK…you will be presented a DOS window. The drive letter and path does not matter. type ‘ipconfig /all’ and right down the HEX value of the MAC address is should be a sequence of letters and numbers seperated by spaces (usually at the very top)

    2. Access your Router and find where you can “force feed” the MAC address into the router.

    3. Turn your laptop OFF completely

    4. Reset your router. Allow the router to boot back up completely.

    5. Turn your laptop on and this will force your router to authenticate your laptop. Since the MAC address is unique to every machine, you will only need to do this once.

    Hope this helps.

    Thanks for the advise, but the problem is it is not a router, it is only an Access Point (it cannot do eg. MAC-cloning), so i cannot “force feed” my MAC address…. any other answer?
    is it possible to have interference through a scanner, pc speaker, printer, even if they are switched off??
