I keep losing my connection...

[Movieguy]

I have an HP Pavillion a805n that's connected to a router via a Netgear wireless adapter. I've had virtually no problems with it until a few days ago, when my computer began to randomly and suddenly lose my connection. A problem that I have to fix by rebooting my computer, it turns out.

It's getting to be an annoyance, it never did this before, and I just want to see if there's a way to stop this

Just out of curiosity, is the adapter USB connected through a USB hub?

 

[Movieguy]

Yes, it's a USB adapter, and it's connected to one of the USB ports on the front of the tower.

Try plugging it into one of the ports in the back. Also make sure your motherboard drivers are all up to date and you have the latest updates and service packs for Windows.
