I got a laugh out of this. One of my girls from high school posted this on facebook. And believe me this isn't even close to being as racy as what tibby posted in the co-op thread.

You guys sure have been talkative!
I had a chance to read back, and eye candy is a nice treat in the morning.
Think I'll re-visit the coop forum!

be good, handsome
i'm taking my robe for a nap!
sleeping beauty must be up by now.
the gym is done for the week. now it's time to party at wild wings with copious wings, beer, and a little football thrown in there for good measure.
Thanks for all of the suggestions
restarting the router didn't fix it, but i can connect to the wireless with my iPAD, at the same time my laptop is dropping the connection (with the iPad and computer right next to each other). And the router is brand new, so that suggests its the laptop.
I checked the drivers using "device manager" but have no idea where to find wireless power settings. Power/signal strength seems most likely. I have deselected the option that gives the wireless adapter permission to drop out to save power.
I don't have a usable desk or table in the room where the router has to be, so moving closer or using the eithernet connection isn't a great option. Makes the laptop close to useless for work.
I can check the atheros sites and see if there are new drivers or different option. problems with the network adapter does seem to be a known issue with win 8.1 (grrr) from what I've seen on microsoft forums. but no one has a good fix that I've seen so far. One fix was to switch to the atheros adapter. sigh. I guess i'll keep checking.
Tibs, if the adapter completely fails then i might try one from walmart- but i hope to get it fixed rather than to have to buy something.
Hope everyone is having a decent day....time for me to nap

People have (seriously!) had luck with the aluminum foil trick.
How to Increase Your Wi-Fi Signal Strength with an Aluminium foil
this is also a test to see if it's a signal strength problem or not.
Also, just rearranging stuff in rooms sometimes helps. lol. Think about what is "casting shadows". Reflecting off doors sometimes works too. Then there's wifi extenders, but you have to drop some $$$ on em. They work.
No other magic from me in this case unless I'm hands-on.

I'm downloading the drivers and will try updating them- just in case the drivers i have in place are corrupted somehow. I'm not quite up to uninstalling then reinstalling- but that might be the next step. If it gets that far, I'll have the drivers downloaded before uninstalling the adapter (one set of directions said to uninstall the adapter, then download the drivers 
) .
The location I'm in worked perfectly until about 2 months ago. It started to get flaky and then my router did go out. So, new router may have less power, or both started messing up at the same time.
thanks for the suggestions

More computer problems????? Oy.
Howdy snails! Hope everyone is enjoying their weekend. I, for one, am being a complete slug! Sitting on the couch, vaping and watching movies.

Well, i reinstalled the drivers...fingers crossed that the connection holds
Wifi staying stable so far....it was flickering out every 5-10 minutes.
Still haven't made it to the couch. Ended up getting a start on tomorrow's housework and laundry.
Hope everyone is enjoying the day.

I managed to get up off the couch and get some mopping and laundry done. More free time for tomorrow!
It's on. I'm at wild wings and slamming beers. Baltimore is up 7-0 already. Yay!
