Wireless connection

Vista HP 32bit....

When I power on my laptop after not using the Power off.....so its coming
out of Sleep....and you see RESUMING WINDOWS.....9 out of 10 times I won't
get connected to my Router. I have used the Diagnostic Tool...and get the
same results, which is, power off the Router...and power it back on...and
when I do that, I do get re-connected.

Why don't you go to the Command Prompt and issue an IPconfig /release
and an IPconfig /renew?

That should get the connection back for the machine without powering off
the router.

This is router dependent, but many (maybe most) routers have multiple
channels that you can use. I often had problems getting connected and tried
different channels and found one that seemed to work best - this mostly
eliminated similar problems that I had (hard to say about your problems).
