So far, the 3G is stable at home.

<div>
The Huawei 3G modem works fine today at workplace while<br />
the undetectable Wifi is detectable today. &nbsp;I'll close this for<br />
now &amp;&nbsp;test the 3G modem with another laptop the next round

<div>
<div class="content wysiwyg-content">
My 3G (using a Huawei modem) had been stable at my new workplace<br />
the last ten days but today, it's been disconnecting every 1-2 minutes.<br />
Signal bar/strength today is 3 bar, used to be four bars.<br />
<br />
If I leave a continuous ping (to gmail) running, it will last longer, say<br />
every 10-30 mins. &nbsp;What went wrong? &nbsp;I'm not aware of any changes,<br />
other than on 5th Jan 2014, there's a Java 7 Update 45 being updated<br />
into my laptop but I did not reboot the laptop (always Hibernate) till<br />
last weekend when the laptop blue-screened &amp;&nbsp;I had to reboot it.<br />
<br />
Does the Java update took effect only after a reboot? &nbsp;I also noticed<br />
that one Wifi service that I previously could detect at my workplace<br />
is not detectable today despite that I right-click &amp;&nbsp;select &quot;Repair&quot; on<br />
my Wifi (not the 3G): is this related?<br />
<br />
I could connect fine to my home Wifi though. &nbsp;I'll try the 3G when I'm<br />
back home tonite before I attempt a Windows XP &quot;Restore Point&quot;.<br />
Any other ideas?

3G kept disconnecting

The term broadband commonly refers to high-speed Internet access that is always on and faster than the traditional dial-up access. Broadband includes several high-speed transmission technologies such as digital subscriber line (DSL), cable, fiber optics, wireless (for which there is a separate topic), satellite and broadband over powerlines (BPL).

Broadband

This topic area includes legacy versions of Windows prior to Windows 2000: Windows 3/3.1, Windows 95 and Windows 98, plus any other Windows-related versions including Windows Mobile.

Wireless networking is anything related to the transfer of data between two (or more) devices without the use of a physical connection, ranging from getting advice on a new Bluetooth headset to configuring sophisticated enterprise level networks.
