Wireless drops randomly

[caf4926]

New clean install of F16 XFCE x86
Wireless is working but every so often it drops and reconnects

Here is the device

02:00.0 Network controller [0280]: Ralink corp. RT3090 Wireless 802.11n 1T/1R PCIe [1814:3090]
	Subsystem: AzureWave Device [1a3b:1087]
	Kernel driver in use: rt2800pci
	Kernel modules: rt2800pci

It on a Eeepc just FYI

Thanks for any advice offered

what kernel are you using, have you tried updating it ? Are you using encryption?Make sure you select only 1 kind, do not use a mix-encrytpion mode (wpa+wpa2). Also make sure you are using a/b/g modes; "n" mode is faster but not very stable in linux. also check your log files when the connection drops:
dmesg | nl | egrep "wlan|net"

YUM is just updating and I see the kernel will be 3.1.

WPA2 is the encryption

Also make sure you are using a/b/g modes; "n" mode is faster but not very stable in linux.

wireless N is not supported in my router. But is there something I should be looking at in the Netbook with regard to this?

I will check the logs. I just need to reboot after this update.
Thanks
