Re: Wireless dropouts and old adapters

You can "Merge and delete network locations" in Vista.

Are you broadcasting your wireless network SSID? Not doing so can cause
connectivity issues. More information here...

Its also possible you have a conflict with another wireless network using
the same SSID and/or channel. You could run a scan using the "cmd /k netsh
wlan show networks mode=bssid " command from the "Start -> Run" window or
use one of these scan programs that run on Vista.
