I have vista and have been using wireless with no problem until 3 weeks ago. Now, even though I have excellent signal strength, I cannot get access unless I am 3 feet from the router. the XP machines in my house are not having this problem. What could have possibly changed. I have only had this computer since August 08.

Hello, I hope this is the correct place to ask for help for my laptop. I bought a Sony Vaio laptop for Christmas which is running Vista Home Premium. It is model VGN-NR123E. I have contacted Sony but they have not been able to help me. The problem that I am having is that the wireless connection will drop without warning and to resume wireless connection I must shut down the computer and then restart it. The computer might stay connected for as little as 5 minutes or a few hours. I have the power setting set to Maximum Performance, and i'm useing a linksys wireless g router model WRT54G version 8.0. Also when the computer loses the wireless connection and I try to reconnect before shutting down the computer it shows that that the computer does not have a wireless adapter installed. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks for your time.

Hey jstewartak: The hardware compatibility list is the place to go: http://winqual.microsoft.com/HCL/ProductList.aspx?m=v&g=d&cid=700&sv=n. Select 'networking' from the dropdown on the left of the home page and search on 'n'. Certified for Windows Vista adapters are listed at the top (both x64 and x86).

The connectivity in Vista is driving me crazy. Hence, that was how I gotten this blog. With XP, my connectivity is excellent. However, after recently upgrading to VIsta, it is only at 60%. I tried doing the above but it doesn't work. Is there anyway to overide this? As I was browsing the internet, I find many users having the same issue. I suppose it don't matter if you're saving the battery life. Most important is good connectivity. Whats the point of prolong battery life if downloading and uploading takes 3 times longer?! It's back to square 1!

What we need is a site showing which wireless adapters support Vista 32 bit and which support Vista 64 bit. Right now, it is almost impossible to find a FAST (MIMO) wireless adapter that support Vista in any flavor. We need Microsoft's help in this matter.

thank you for the fix below!!! i was contemplating reinstalling XP. at least i can now install the software, and do not get the blue screen of death anymore! *just hope i can connect now!*

Awesome, it works!

thanks again for the post below!!!

Basically, the device corresponding to "Texas Instruments PCI-xx21/x11 CardBus Controller with UltraMedia" (Hardware Id is VEN_104C&DEV8031) is not detected by Windows Update. After installation of the correct driver, when inserting certain PCCards (Linksys Wireless-G Notebook Adapter with SRX, Linksys Wireless-N Business Notebook Adapter and Novatel Merlin V620 are examples) Vista BLUE SCREENS.

The workaround I've found is to disable the "Texas Instruments PCI GemCore based SmartCard controller" (Hardware Id VEN104C&DEV_8035) installed by Vista, which then allows you to use the cards just fine (it is not a network driver issue).

update - I'm still having the same issues afterall, the problems reocurred this morning. I'm running RC2, and changed the wireless power settings to maximum performance as suggested. Last night I manually clicked the 'sleep' button in Vista. This morning the wireless connection was trying to connect for 10 mins and never did so I unplugged the usb wireless adapter and replugged and it was connected within a few seconds. Lucky I have a removable adapter because the only other solution is to reboot. I'm hoping some other settings were changed before RTM... or maybe it is the d-link drivers I have? I'd be more than happy to email event logs to someone if that would help. cwood00(at)comcast.net
