Desktop connected to network via a D-Link DWA-130 (wireless-n USB adapter).

If I'm idle for a short time, it disconnects.

I had that problem, I fixed it with a 20m ethernet cable

I already googled the model I have and I haven't found a solution yet.

Thanks for responding, though!

I spent all day googling last week and came up with not much. If you find out what yours is (under the plastic, under the logos) there are only a couple of models out there, wrapped differently.

Maybe you can get a different driver for it?

Maybe I'll just get a cord.

First, I'll let the Geek Squad guy who sold it to me to take a look. I believe this is the first time we've ever had an issue with our Geek.

I have 2 desktops plugged in permanently. No dramas

This is in my office (I don't have a desktop at home). Didn't wanna bother running a cable, but maybe I will.

how far will it have to go?

My Vitamix blender KILLS my internet and whole network when I make a smoothie.

PowerLine networking thingys might work if you don't want to run cables

Just thought of something useful!!!

It doesn't solve the problem but can you just run a ping command in the background to yahoo.com - that will keep the connection alive regardless of what you are doing
