USB wireless adapter will not stay connected to network Help please?

I was having the same problem, try changing your routers wireless channel. To do this you will need to get your default gateway so you can log on to your router. Go to command prompt on your computer and type in ipconfig it should come up with some numbers, find the one that says default gateway (123.456.7.8) and type it in your browser of choice. It should ask for a Username and Password, usually default is username: admin password: password. Once logged on go to wireless settings and just change your channel. I did this because of interference with my wireless channel. This worked for me and maybe it will work for you.
