I'm hoping someone out there has a solution for a wireless connection
problem.

Three weeks ago I purchased a D-Link bundled system, with a DI-524 H/W
ver E1 F/W v5.10 router and a DWL G122 ver B1 F/W 2.02 adapter. I'm
using the adapter on a Dell Dimension 8200 desktop running XP for home.
All software and firmware has been upgraded. I have the adapter
approximately 12 feet from the router and the connection strength is
usually at the maximum.

Approximately every 3 minutes the connection gets lost. I usually
realize this when a window pops up telling me the network is now
connected. Occasionally I have to manually open up the icon and
re-enter my password. Telecommuting is impossible with this problem.

I've talked to D-Link technical support three times by phone and
twice via e-mail. They've basically told me to do the same things
over and over (use Windows to configure the adapter, don't use
Windows to configure the adapter, change the channel, change the RTS
threshold and fragmentation rates, move the location of the adapter,
etc). The problem is still there.

This seems to be outside of D-Link's ability to fix. Does anyone
have any experience with disconnects like this? Are there any obscure
fixes I can try? How would I check to see if there is outside RF
interference?

It does sound like radio interference. See the Interference section in
the wiki below.

Previously I have had a not dissimilar problem also with a Dell and a USB
WiFi adaptor. Eventually the problem was traced to be the USB chipset on the
Dell. It was a VIA type which we managed to sort out by upgrading the USB
chipset drivers. Have you got the latest chipset drivers installed for the
Dell?
