Unstable wifi cutoffs

Solved

Hello everyone,

Here is my problem: I have a laptop with WiFi. I connect without any problem wherever I need. At a friend's house with a Freebox, my connection drops randomly and intermittently. The only way to regain my connection is to click on the connection icon and select REPAIR. At first I paid little attention to it, but now it happens systematically. It’s not a router or connection issue, because the other computers connected to the same network via WiFi work perfectly.

I have searched everywhere to find where the problem could come from, to no avail.

Thank you in advance for your answers.

Configuration: Windows XP Internet Explorer 7.0

    Héhé !
    I think I have the answer to your problem.
    I had the same issue and since then my WIFI connections are perfect and I can watch different channels on 4 PCs without random disconnections.
    Go to the WIFI settings of your Freebox and uncheck the "automatic channel" box (the one that tells you you’re a big fool if you uncheck it because it offers you the best possible connection) then you choose channel 1. You can still try another channel but it’s the "automatic channel" that messes things up.
    Confirm your choice and reboot your Freebox.
    There you go! That’s all.

      Thank you for your insights. Simple question: where to click to get "the configuration of my Freebox" and put your advice (uncheck, etc.) into practice
      Thank you very much

        For lionassis: no no your link didn’t risk anything because it only works starting from your line.
