Wifi setup
Hello,
In general, when setting up a private wifi connection, whereby one enters the name of the access point and the security key, to make the connection.
Here's the situation; I make the connection, but for whatever the reason I lose the connection.
Here's my problem; The laptop "completely loses" the wifi setup! I have to reenter the name of the access point and the security key.
I've worked with wifi before and never have I seen this happen, so my question is;
Could the wifi card potentially be broken?

Does this laptop have any connectivity issues with other networks?

by: tracerfett - yes the wifi has other issues with any other network.
by: lee555J5 - it is built in wifi card, within 10 minutes of making the connection. I have updated the driver, this might help.
