Wireless Network Problems

[Guest]

When is a fix for the Vista wireless Internet problems going to be issued?!
If you're not familiar with it, when your wireless computer (any model/make)
goes into sleep or hibernate mode, the only way to regain your wireless
connection after coming out of one of these modes is to reboot or restart.
None of the temporary fixes offered (on this site and others) have worked!
Why are the people at Microsoft ignoring this ANNOYING issue?!!!!

Coachdvc,

I'm sorry you're experiencing trouble. Actually, it's because of the posts

Like Coachdvc I have been experiencing the SAME problem and its making me
furious - any idea on an update? John Lewis said they would be happy to take
a look at it / send it away but it appears to be a microsoft problem rather
than an HP computer problem.

Please make sure you have the latest wireless drivers.
This often helps.

I have the same problem. When the computer wakes up (if it does not hang,
and that is another problem), Windows does not detect any wireless networks.
It is not a driver problem, it is a Windows Vista problem. A computer
sitting side by side with this one has XP installed and it never loses the
wireless signal. Don't hold you breath waiting for a fix from Microsoft.

Take a look at the following and see if it helps:

While I can't find it at the moment, there is also a released version of
this hotfix that addresses the same issue.

You say: "this issue is bugged up and is under investigation" !?
That was in early April 2007. I purchased a new Laptop in June with the same
problem -Coachdvc- posted above. I have never been able to receive but a few
emails yet.
Instead of returning my laptop immediately, I worked dilligently trying to
find the solve the problem. Now after months have passed my hardware vendor
support tells me that I have to wait until a Vista Service Pack is released,
date unknown.
Has MS resolved this issue now, or is it still "this issue is bugged up and
[] under investigation"
I have spend a rediculous amount of time searching for answers.
Where are the answers?
Where are the fixes?

PS: BTW - Router hardware and all settings are verified to be correct.

I have the same problem. It's getting to the point that rebooting my laptop
will not reconnect me. In fact I see more of my neighbors routers more often
than I do my own. It's to the point now it may take rebooting 10 times
before a connection is made. This SUCKS! I've done a lot of investigating
on the web about this issue. It appears to be quite common. It appears to
be a Vista issue. It appears this issue has been going on for over a year
now with no fix in place.
