Wireless connection keeps dropping

Hi

I have a D-Link Wireless 108g MIMO ADSL 2/2+ Router that keeps dropping the connection from my wireless laptops and the laptop connected to it directly via CAT 5 Ethernet cable.

Any ideas why this may be happening?

All latops are running WinXP Pro sp2. With all upto date patches.
Wireless Zero Configuration Service has been disabled.
Wireless router and wireless PCMCIA cards have the latest firmware installed.
Different Link Speed settings for the laptops have also been tried.

Regards

I had a similiar with a wired d/link router.  The clients kept loosing the connection.  I would have to unplug and re-plug the router to get it working.

I personally think d/link makes crap....your solution may be a linksys of netgear.
