I'm on a wireless network, and I've got trouble with either my wireless card or the settings for it. It's unlikely to be the card as the problem affects two other people in my house. Two further people's connections are fine, both connected normally.

My problem is this: The wireless hardware connects to the WAN but invariably cuts out every 5 minutes. When connected, it sports a 'not connected' legend in the corner of the wireless network connection window. I have tried to guess the problem, but my limited knowledge is...well, limited. I thought that it may be an SSID problem, mainly because the SSID has no set value on the Wireless card properties.

This is a major problem, as I have to supervise all downloads to reconnect continuously. No-one I know seems to know what is wrong either, even the more technologically competent of them. Feedback will be showered with blessings, however much you can offer.
