 I am having problems with the wireless connection on my MCE machine.
I have no problems with other machines on the connected to the
wireless router.

However the MCE machine drops the network connection on a regular
basis. I have to continually click repair to start it up again. The
signal strength is excellent, so that is not the problem

Has anyone else encountered this and/or no how to troubleshoot/solve
the problem.

 I suggest trying the website of the vendor who makes the wifi card in your
computer. It's more than likely a driver issue. Try a previous driver or a
newer driver then the one you currently have installed.
