    your passphrase is the password that protects your wireless network. If you don't know it or you don't think you ever put one in, then your wireless network is unsecured. You need to set it up from the router (from a computer that has a wired connection) . If i had to guess, your computer is dropping your connection and unintentionally trying to connect to another secured network (probably a neighbors') . You can go in to the router's setup and change the SSID (unique name/identifier of your network) so you don't confuse it with anyone else's.

    Further notes: IF you're not 100% sure how it works, from a computer that is wored to the router, open your web browser and type in 192.168.2.1 that will take you to the router... they're pretty self explanatory from there.

    Hope that helps!!
