help needed with odd wireless disconnects

[DaRuSsIaMaN]

Why is it that sometimes my wireless connection on my laptop disconnects and claims that there are no wireless networks in range, even though I know for a fact that there are? I then just restart and when it's restarted, it connects just fine. It doesn't matter how good the connection is; this could happen when my signal is excellent or very good or when it's very low with equal probability.

It's as if the computer goes deaf or something. I open the window that shows networks in range, and it's completely blank even when it should see multiple ones. Like I said, restarting makes it all go back to normal as if it never happened.

Any ideas? Thanks.

its called wireless, it will not be as reliable as wired for a long time, but if this problem is really getting to you, I'd suggest an upgrade on your wireless hardware, possibly including your router/access point for a rated long range one, cant say i know a lot about wireless though, i use a lot of wired here

Hmm well my router's range isn't a problem because, where my room is, the signal is always strong. (It happens even when the signal strength is great!)

I'm unsure about your main conclusion, though. 1.) Are you saying better hardware will help? 2.) Or are you saying that even if I get a better range router that it will still do random quirky things like this? If the answer is 1. then I could try getting a better wireless card ... I'm pretty sure the reception on my laptop is worse than other peoples' laptops, so maybe my wireless card just sucks? I could definitely buy another one, but I don't want to bother if it will keep doing it anyway.
Thanks!

Any other ideas?
