Howdy. I have been using ubuntu for a while but I'm no means an expert.

I have a Belkin N1 Wireless Router with WPA encryption. I can access it fine on all my Windows machines but lately my laptop (HP 530) seems to lose connection frequently and is then unable to re-connect even after a basic reboot.

It seems extremely temper mental. There isn't a set amount of time until I lose the connection it just randomly happens and sometimes I will be able to regain it but I don't know how.
I have tried using the restricted drivers that were automatically installed. I have tried using ndiswrapper but nothing so far.

Any help would be hugely appreciated.

p.s. It shows that I have a signal but it says wlan0 is disconnected. My wifi light is also on.
