Signal strength may be the problem. Hard wire the unit to the computer and see if it disconnects. Also check the computer settings to see if it powers down certain ports or aspects of operations while just playing a movie every 20 minutes.

Make sure you're firewall is either off or port exceptions are added. Interference between the computer and projector should be minimized (fluorescent lights should be off)because of the distance your signal could be attenuating. Consider moving tHe computer or router closer. Lastly... since your projector is communicating to your comp via dongle it should have an IP address. Make sure it's static or dhcp will change it intermittently.

It is wifi ready, not wifi built-in. Meaning you have to plug something else in to receive the signal. The problem is that many USB adapters do not work with sony blu ray players. Sony says only their $80 adapter will work. What Janean and everyone is asking which USB adapters will work besides Sony's.

I have one and I am running windows 7 64 bitt. Mine works fine. Try re-installing as per instructions. Wifi distance has limits. Try a different location, try going outside.

I have Windows 8.1 and still have the disconnection problem, even after following others' advice here and changing USB power settings and updating drivers from the Mediatek website. So, yes it works, but will drive you crazy disconnecting and reconnecting.

I have a cable connection and an ancient wireless-G router. I haven't experienced any connectivity problems. My only problem so far is getting used to WIN 8 (I'm almost 66 and getting set in my ways :-D).

Did not try it with win 7, but once you connect over wifi it creates an ad hock network and you'll not be able to use your wifi to surf the internet

It more about the OS than the computer itself. I know it works with Windows 7. I have only used it with a USB cable, not the WiFi.

I haven't had the video drop out while watching a movie, but the GUI for the net/usb function will not display half the time. My TV displays a message that it is not receiving any video signal, which is odd since I know the receiver is on.

is your computer compatible with the usb wireless adapter? are you running windows 7? I got this to extend my wifi so i could have internet downstairs and it didn't work. to much metal in the building. Depending on how much you paid I would throw it in the trash like I did. I went to Best buy and got one that worked and for a good price.

My dongle is the 150Mps USB wireless Dongle(8188cus) like the one on the picture. Identifies itself as: Realtek RTL8188CU wireless LAN 802.11n USB 2.0 Network Adapter. Search for drivers via Google.Mine do not work in win8(64bit) but works fine on win7.

Dear friend I did some research and found the driver file for your Dongle, its a .RAR file will open with a Zip utility please follow this link to get this file its the only one there. Let me know you received the file be sure to back up the file and save it for future use. I did run this first to see if it works with this dongle since I own the same thing. Please email jcrowder0027@gmail.com telling me you received the software. Also make sure the dongle is not plugged in when installing the software I hope this helps you.

I have the same issue with random disconnects with Windows 8 and 8.1 - both with a Microsoft Bluetooth mouse and an HP Bluetooth mouse. It clearly is a problem with Windows 8. I even unchecked the option to allow the computer to turn the mouse off and it still happens. Both mice allow scrolling, but only in a limited way. If you scroll too fast it foes into a funky state where you have to move the mouse to move the screen. I've not fount a fix for that except to scroll slowly with the scroll wheel.

I haven't tried this but as long as your PC is setup for video sharing, it should work. I can see my home network when setting up the dongle.

Common problem. I solved the "USELESS MOUSE" by attaching the wifi dongle to to the extention cord it came with and made sure it was visible. There are other 2.4ghz controls that maybe interfering too. Make sure no other wireless apparatus is being used around it. this does not have a bluetooth capability. This is the downside.

It should work on XP...i don't know about older versions of windows tho.In my case I have windows 7 laptop and dongle works great. I suggest you try it out..if not then simply return it.

My Sony all-in-one is very fast and I have no more problems with WiFi than any other computer. There WAS a problem with Windows 8 and 8.1 but by resetting the WiFi adapter every time I rebooted I was able to work around that problem and now it appears Windows fixed the connection issue. I haven't had any internet connection problems in months.

I have connected this device as a repeater, and the wired ports work fine along the wifi. This device also works as a wifi router, maybe you have misconfigured it?
