You are looking for a wireless connection in either case. The problem 
may not be in
your hardware. It is possible that there is an intermittent interference 
condition in
your neighborhood. This could be caused by arcing power lines, or 
perhaps some
kind of machine being used intermittently in the area. Perhaps you 
should get an
extension cable so you can always use a wired connection.
