Is it possible to swap your device out for a spare router? Im not sure about virgin media as I think you have the cable modem and then the wireless router connected to that, or is it all in one unit? It sure sounds like the router rather than your netbook. What happens is your run large downloads on other machines using the connection? -Mark <div class="gmail_quote">On 17 January 2011 22:38, andres <<a href="mailto:andresmp@gmail.com">andresmp@gmail.com</a>> wrote: <blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); padding-left: 1ex;"> Hello, I've been looking for this for some time but I think I'm not doing the right word search in google. I don't even know how to report it if it's a bug... might not even be an OS problem so sorry. I have an ubuntu netbook 10.04 acer aspire one zg5 (same as AO110 I think but with SSD). I get yelled at because I am downloading files (podcasts, software, distros, ...) this for some reason disconnects my wifi but also all other kit that is connected to the router. Then my wifi recovers connection and slowly all the other stuff in the house gets connected (w7, itouch, internet radio). But if I continue downloading it will disconnect everything again. I've been able to see that this happens at when I reach a certain download speed. I use a netgear routher and my broadband is virgin. Any pointers are welcome!
