unable to connect using wireless connection

[capo]

Since successfully restoring my laptop to factory settings I have been unable to connect using my Intel PRO/Wireless 3945ABG Network Connection.

Initially it worked, but after a while it stopped. I have completed several system restores, and the wireless connection works for a few days. On the last occasion (after installing windows updates) I received the dreaded blue screen and have been unable to connect.

On Saturday, my wireless connection suddenly starting working, 24 hours later it stopped.

I am not sure if it is related to installing new windows updates as prior to restoring to factory settings I had no issues with my wireless connection.

I am able to connect using the ethernet cable and I am currently able to connect using Pluscom wireless usb adapter.

I would be grateful for any suggestions as its driving my insane.

If you are facing the slow connection issue, you can check the reason for the problem. If the connection drop issue is due to your ISP, you can contact your ISP. If you discover any issue from your side, you can check the router and the associated hardware. If you have issues with your Ethernet cables, you can replace them.
