Dang, I thought I had fixed it, but now i'm still having big reliability issues with the wireless desktop. The part that is confusing is all the other wireless devices are working just fine. The Netbook is wireless B, G, N, and so too is the router. So too is the desktop. I suspect it's a setting issue or a driver issue, but for the life of me can't figure out what it is. I'm thinking of just doing a wipe and restore for starters. Failing that, I may try another network card.
