What is occurring here?: 1) windows 7 connect to wifi modem. 2) initial
connection ok by testing with ping 3) minute or two later, connection
suddenly dropped,-client shows no internet 4) requires either reboot and
reload wifi client or d/c wifi client and reconnect on 2nd usb port. 5)
sometimes requires changing local ip using a mac address changer to
immediately reconnect. This last time occurred when using Psiphon proxy
which frequently d/c when loading a web page. Using a big ISP that
provides wifi services. This appears to be some hacker running a d/c
program against me? Or is this just flaky wifi?

I vote for something flaky. Whether it is software, hardware, or
signal--I don't know.

One thing I do know--ping with a standard payload size doesn't do much
to test a flaky connection. I have one network segment that I can ping
with a maximum payload size of 1372. Try a size like that.
