When I move to a different access point, the adapter loses the connection.
In a Wi-Fi network with more than one base station, wireless adapters are supposed to detect all nearby access points and automatically shift their association to an access point with a clean, strong signal when you move from one place to another. However, the transfers don't always work properly. Sometimes an adapter will just drop the network connection when the signal from the nearest access point fades out. If that happens, try connecting again. If that doesn't work, try rebooting your computer.
