No matter what I do I just can’t get stable wireless networking in Windows Vista. Sometimes I cant connect at all, sometimes I get disconnected after a few minutes of use, other times it works for several hours. But every time I do get disconnected I get one of the following three situations:
But no matter what happens it never reconnects again properly for ages, sometimes hours. During this time I have tried all the obvious things such as restarting the PC, restarting the router, disabling and enabling the network adapter, re-configuring and setting up the connection, running the Vista network diagnostics tool, you name it I’ve done it.
I have tried changing the router with no luck, I have tried moving the router to a different room, I have tried changing the channels on the router in case something else was interfering with the signal, I have tried it with all wireless security disabled, I have tried another laptop. All without luck.
Today I formatted one of the laptops and the first thing I did upon install was try the wireless, and the problem was still there. I really dont know what else I can do.
- I can see the network on the list of available networks and it has full signal, I click connect and it says almost straight away without even trying to connect “unable to connect to the network”.
- The network does not show up on the list of available networks despite having the laptop right next to the router.
- I can see the network and connect to it, but it will say that I am connected to “unidentified network” and I will be unable to use the internet.
