I had recurring disconnection problems on a remote computer a bit of boiboite. None of my two wireless adapters Netgear and Linksys seemed to do the trick (to go crazy, channel 6, 11, etc. with or without encryption, nothing worked). With the Hercules adapter, all problems disappeared. The connection is stable for several weeks now. I am baba; despite its size of wasp, it does better than the Linksys PCI card and its large antenna.
