Swimmer Posted August 2, 2005 CID Share Posted August 2, 2005 check the dhcp lease time on your router.. and then upgrade your wireless card with the lastest firmware/drivers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amc11890 Posted August 2, 2005 Author CID Share Posted August 2, 2005 unfourtanetely no firmware/driver updates available...........very annoying when this happens kuz the only solution is to shut down Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Swimmer Posted August 2, 2005 CID Share Posted August 2, 2005 call verizon and complain.. they might ship you a new one or get you some drivers.. but since it is usb i highly doubt it.. the thing is most likely running off some old microsoft driver..
