I recently added a laptop to my home network and it goes out form time to time. At seemingly random times I will get the "limited or no conenctivity" message and of course I can't connect to anythign during this time. SOmetimes it comes back after a few seconds adn sometiems it come back after a minute or two. WHen I have this message I can still see the network with a good signal, just can't connect to it. Does anyone have any ideas?

does it happen when you have the washer or dryer on?

No, but now I am curious, I did find a post somepalce wehre they talked about replacing the power supply to the router fixed it. What does the washer or drier do? maybe AC kicking on or something?

apparently large appliances emit some kind of current that screws with the router. as far as i know there is no realistic solution.

I had this problem with a belkin router. It may be a crappy router or a crappy wireless card in your laptop. You should call the router company and laptop or card company.
