As Peter said below, this seems to be the same problem, only one item
not connecting.
So a question: if I have another router (a previous TT one) can I:
Using the additional router.;
1. Connect it up exactly as the present one (same name) but located in
the living room where I most use my laptop, wiil it work? Or will it
interfere with the original? ((Approx 7m + 2 walls away)
2. Setup the second router with the same name but add a '1' after it,
will that work? (routername1)
3. Or do I have to set the second router up as a 'link' (AP?) to the
main router, if so how?
As this problem is only with my laptop and the wireless card seems to be
working correctly, connecting via another device (second router) would
seem to be a way around it, plus it's likely that the signal would be
stronger, as the second router will be in the same room with no walls
between rouer2/laptop.
Since last reporting I've deleted Thunderbird and reinstalled after
computer reset. Deleted (on laptop) the wireless setup, reset computer,
then setup the wireless. No affect from either.
Wireless is locked in a loop trying to connect very minutes approx, as
Ralphs 'peekwifi' confirms.

Hi All
My wireless connection to the router keeps dropping out even though
it reports 64% signal. Yesterday everything was OK all day but this
morning no connection.
The router is mounted on a high shelf in a room with 2 single brick
walls between. This problem has recently started (since mid Jan),
it's not consistent and nothing has changed with settings on the
laptop. I have thought that perhaps the wireless card in the laptop
is failing but would that not be permanent? The card is fixed and
held by 2 screws to the motherboard. Do cards fail as they age?
I've just moved into the room with the router and the signal is 89%
but still no connection. I will now plug in an Ethernet cable to
send this.
Clive, i just had a thought. Which Router are you using - Is it a TT
Sagemcom? I have been having problems with my Sagemcom in that one
device many times will not connect to it. It happens to be the only
computer wired into it, and has a fixed IP address. Many mornings it
just would not connect, no matter how many times I disabled and
enabled the interface, and many times caused the router to reboot. I
have reverted back to the previous router which I think is the D-Link
with exactly the same configuration and it works, well, it works.
Can you swap out your router and see if the problem persists?
