Ok i want to know why Windows is so slow on fixing these HUGE connection
issues.

I switched my machine to Vista. and when its hard connected it works fine.
but wireless is garbage. their is no consistency. it will run good then
slow down. speed up slow down.

right now it thinks im not connected yet i am. i have a wireless-N linksys
router atm

is done this also on a wireless-n belkin extreme and with a generic
wirless-g lyknsis router.

All the other computers in the house work fine. and ofcourse like
everything with vista. NONE of the WLAN that come with the wireless cards
are compatible with vista. andwhen i turn off the wlan built into vista it
will detect no wireless connections. someitmes i think microsoft vista and
the playstation 3 are brothers. both are big flops. with lots of issues.

anyhow how can you connect to wireless with vista when the wlan auto is
disabaled?

Some good news after all this time!

I tried the suggestions on this page and voila! My wireless card decided to
forget its lag (Note: I also found a setting on my Wireless card advaced
properties through device manager where I cold manually set my SSID - so that
could have been the clincher as well): -

Apart from the SSID the only thing I changed was the router wireless
settings as described in the link above (i.e. changed to 802.11b/g from
whatever it was before that).

Let me know how this goes for you! Good Luck.
