Hi , I recently installed a wireless network and all works fine.

but after awhile my WEP turns off to disabled... then I have to fill in my password again and reconnect...

What type of wireless router is it? And have you tried upgrading it's firmware?

It looks like your router reboots from time to time.
Usually this is because some buffer overflow problems or even an electrical problem.

As gh0stface said, I would try to upgrade your firmware.
Or just go back to the store you bought and return it.
If you'll get a new one, I suggest the Linksys. Smile

reset the router maybe? Possibly defective?

I had a problem with my router that made my laptop lose it connetions from time to time. I did not have to type inn the password, thoug - since it's set on automatical login. In my case it was the "auto" speed mechanism in the router. Everytime it changed speed due to change in signal, I lost connetions for a sec or two.

After I locked the transmission speed to 54, (and not auto) the problem went away. It's no problem for me, because I'm very close to the router - if you are so far away that your signal strenght decreases, you may experience a big packet loss when turning of autospeed.
