[Win7]Wireless Connectivity Loss without Disconnect

[McGinS]

Hello, I'm a casual miner running off my Win7 desktop, and I don't really have the time or willpower to
>install gentoo (and by that I mean Ubuntu or OpenSUSE and WINEing all my older games)
at the moment so I'm stuck with Windows.

Here's my problem - I'm a tenant stuck with using a wireless adapter linked to an older router and connectivity keeps dropping without actually disconnecting the WIFI.

Does anyone know of a program that can detect this, or a mining program that will trigger another program or reconnect when it hasn't returned a share in X amount of time, etc?
Any solution that doesn't require explaining why I want to run a cable through the front window, really.  (oh and FYI my electrical usage would peak at 50 bucks, well below my rent, I'm not an asshole trying to hide his mining).

I keep losing hours worth of shares to these damn drops, any help would be fine.  No luck with search engines.

be back later.
 

heck, if someone would point me to a command line to reset the network, I'd just task mn to do it ever 30 minutes, and make a macro a script-off switch to my keyboard so it doesn't DC me in the middle of some match...

Thanks

Have you checked the power-setting at both wifi adapter and machine?

Sounds like one of them might power down due to low traffic.

Set your computer in performance mode in control panel->hardware and sound->power options

I'll look into those  and I probably answered my own question re: kludging together auto-reconnect     in the OP...

Solution:
Make a batch file with this:

ping 192.168.0.1 -n 1 | find /i "bytes=" || goto Fail
goto Online
:Fail
netsh wlan connect ssid=WirelessName name=WirelessName
:Online

with the highlighted portions edited for yourself.

Then add a task in task manager to run this Daily with a 5 minute repeat every 24 hours.

It pings your wireless router, and if it gets now response it executes the stuff under ":Fail" and reconnects your wireless connection. (192.168.0.1) should be replaced by its address. Type it (or common variations 192.168.2.1, 192.168.10.1) into your web browser adress bar to verify.
 WirelessName should be replaced by the SSID (Network name) and the name of the profile for it (Usually the same, sometimes will have a ­number after it i.e. WirelessName1, dlink1, learn2edityourSSID3 etc)
This should work on Windows 7, and Vista as is, slightly changed MAYBE?

I made half of this post pretty condescending newbie friendly, maybe I'll finish the job later.
