I'm running a HP laptop with an 'Atheros AR9285' wireless adapter.
My problem is that the internet is fairly constantly dieing.
Occationally it will last a few hours, but mostly its every few minutes I will just not be able to access any websites/games/chat etc.
The actual wireless connection seems to remain connected. I get a fairly steady 3-5 bars.
It's just that internet access stops.
Eg, C:\Users\JB>ping -n 100 209.85.147.106

etc.
I've tried changing the channel the router is using. But other devices seem to connect ok.
But then if I connect with a cable (its an ethernet over power conn) everything seems fine.
I tried installing NetStumbler to check out the signal, but it says my device is unsupported and wont give me anything.
Any ideas appreciated.
