Yay, more computer troubles. Well, before I explain the problem, I'll just point out what I have that may or may not make a difference in the solutions. I bought this wireless card about 2-3 months ago, and it's been a lower quality one, at best, but it has served it's purpose well up until now. Here is the card:

Since I have Windows 7, the tech support told me the day I installed it and installed the drivers (as it wasn't working properly and I had to call it in) to simply have Windows find the and install the driver, not to use the disk or the drivers on the site. That fixed the slow connection problem.
Now I have arrived at a new problem. As of 2-3 days ago, my internet has been randomly dropping the connection every 10-15 minutes, and it doesn't reconnect for 2-4 minutes after the disconnect. For the first 20 seconds or so, the wireless internet I use doesn't appear on my Available Connections list, and after it does, if I attempt to manually connect, I simply get a "Unable to Connect" error. After the 2-4 minutes pass, it automatically reconnects. I have normally 3 or 4 bars (out of 5) on the connection signal, and seeing how my netbook doesn't lose connection, I've come to believe it's the wireless card.
So before I go out and spend another $50 on a new wireless card, I come to Facepunch to ask if they might have a solution that could save me time and possibly money. Is there any way I can find for certain if it is the card? And if it is, can I fix it without buying a new one or returning this one?
Try using a wired connection, if it still does this then you have a bigger problem. If it stop its the card.
