+2 Modem Router. The problem is, whenever I use its wifi functionality with my sony laptop, the connection keeps disconnecting. Please note that the internet doesn't get disconnected, but the connection between laptop and router is lost. Within 2 minutes of connection, it gets disconnected and my laptop shows sign of connection available, though I've set the connection to connect automatically and saved the wep key as well. With certain other routes, I don't face this problem, so I assume my laptop drivers are fine. Also, when I connect my Edimax 7284WnA Wireless Router to my laptop with LAN cable, it works like a charm

You are right, if your laptop has no issues except in your home, your laptop is not the problem. You should read the "Communication Failures" section of my tip entitled "Understanding Wireless Networks". You can read it here. You should troubleshoot this starting with the obvious... Are you in Range? Is there a device causing interference (cordless phones, other access points, microwaves)? If there are other WiFi Access Points in your range, verify that they are on a different channel than your router (you can do this with a free WiFi Scanner called "NetStumbler" or "InSSIDer"). If you follow my advice given in the article, and you still have issues, there is a possibility of the router's transmitter/receiver starting to fail.
I hope this helps,

Sure sir.. Thanks a lot!
But I purchased this adsl router just a month back, I'm not going to buy a new one, but going to take the heck out the company people and the seller! :D
Thank you for your suggestions.
If you recently purchased the router, return it to the place of purchase. You may be able to exchange it for a new one.
