Wow. I've read all 102 posts, and fiddled with my HP new Presario desktop as far as I can go. Still get consistent and constant drop from my wireless router-adsl internet connection. It connects to the net for a few seconds, sometimes enough to load a page in IE (usually not, tho). It doesn't stay connected long enough to get any of the vista patches & updates downloaded, so that's out of the question.

Google shows lots of forums where we're all complaining about the same issue. It's clearly Vista, because I've brought over a friend's clunky Toshiba laptop running XP, and it works fine and the router's happy and the network is happy.

Has anyone seen reference to Microsoft actually acknowleding this connectivity problem, and what they're thinking of doing? Some of you great folks here have been doing some pretty heavy duty troubleshooting work, and I really appreciate it. I'd really really like to be able to appreciate MS's not requiring us to go through this hell, tho.

So none of this stuff has worked. Any suggestions?

Does Vista suck as much as it seems?

Not to defend MS, but what folks are missing here is that this is an INTEL chipset, not MS, and Intel ALWAYS writes their own drivers. I have the infamous 915GM INTEL chipset on a laptop, and it does NOT support Aero. Why? Because INTEL decided to NOT write drivers for their own chipset to support Aero.

So, if you want to complain, then complain to the right company -- Intel.

Hi guys.

It seems that quite a few people are experiencing this problem. Has anyone managed to solve it? I am using a Netgear WGR614 wireless router and an Intel 4965AGN wireless adapter on a Windows Vista Ultimate based laptop. My internet connection drops out constantly. I don't know if it is just me getting more and more frustrated, but it seems that the drop-out frequency is increasing. After reading almost all posts on this board, I have tried:

1) disable IPv6
2) disable Teredo tunneling pseudo interface
3) disable auto tuning

Unfortunately none of it has remedied the situation. For the time being my Vista installation seems perfectly useless for internet use. Fortunately I have a dual boot installation with XP and here things work perfectly.

Has anybody come up with a solution?

Please don't tag an off-topic post onto a specific thread. This post is about problems with a specific Intel wireless chipset, not about generic wireless problems.

If you're having problems with other chipsets, read through the pinned posts we have. Wireless seems to be an ongoing problem with Vista.

Hi,

Have just tried to update the driver to the XP version, however every time I uninstall the wireless card Vista automatically installs the same driver again. I have gone into advanced system settings>hardware>windows update driver settings, have changed the settings from automatic but it still installs the same driver.

Having to sit by my wireless router with a wireless laptop is getting a little annoying!!

thanks in advance

Since you're clearly having a "drivers" problem, you should be reading the pinned posts in our Drivers forum. We have a couple there that provide instructions for removing drivers from the driverstore -- so Vista can NOT automatically reinstall them again.

So my girlfriends laptop has been having this same issue and to no avail could I find any information about it. I decided to go into the device manager and look at the device properties. I went through all the tabs and didn't see anything too alarming then I found what I suspect had been causing the random drop outs. I clicked the power management tab and what do i see checked? Allow the computer to turn the device on and off to save power. I unchecked that and haven't had any drop out issues since. Hope that helps some of you!
