Have to admit getting very fed up with Vista's wi-fi issues. similar
issues to all of the above...one minute it is working ..next it
isn't..reboot PC..it works...I was using a lenovo X61 thinkpad and the
only thing i have changed so far is the power options settings to keep
the Wi-fi on maximum performance but I am not convinced it'sa fixed...

Channel numbers dont make any difference to me...though i admit I am
using Netgear router too..is there an inherent compatability with
Netgear and Vista Wi-Fi??

I too am fed up with Vista's Wi-Fi issues as well as my customer.
I've spent over 25 unbilled hours at the customer's house and
countless hours on the Internet, trying to get a new Toshiba Satellite-
Pro A300 to hook up to a new Netgear WNR834B wireless N router. After
all the troubleshooting from Netgear, Toshiba, and the ISP, and
replacing the cable modem, wired router, and wireless router with all
new equipment and updating everything, we still are having issues
connecting to Wi-Fi. Non Vista systems DON'T HAVE AN ISSUE. Toshiba
wants me to reformat the system now... which I know will not solve the
problem. And to the Microsoft parrot that cries out "new drivers,
update the drivers" I have with no results. From the looks of things
this issue has been going on for well over a year now, shame on
Microsoft for pushing a broken product onto its customers and not
SOLVING the issues. I am now recommending MAC for my customers and
Linux is definitely going onto my other machines. If you are going to
charge top dollar for a product perhaps you should make sure it works
before selling it. Wake up Microsoft, people want product that works
as advertised not the CRAP you've pushed onto them. Tired of the Bull
%#t.
