My wireless internet connection drops every few minutes when on my “secure” wireless home network.

-Only drops when router is “Security-Enabled”

-Does not drop when configured to Unsecured

-When connected to the secure wireless network… on the “Choose a Wireless Network” screen it tells me I am “Not Connected”, but the button in the bottom right corner reads “Disconnect”…

I am running Windows XP Professional with Service Packs 2

What can I do to solve this problem?

Kaizen

what router are you using? Does it have the latest firmware on it?

that sometimes happens when the signal strength is too low. if that isnt the case, there is not much you can do. you can either disable the security settings which is not recommended, or you could buy a wireless nic from the same company that built your router.

as sad as it may be but network components of different brands, do not always work together well. especially when it comes to wireless networking.
