    You should read the thread then, because as I KEEP SAYING, I am of the opinion that it is the laptop that has the issue, not the router. I have done all you suggested and more and this evening I will be testing the laptop with a USB dongle that I know works with the laptop's WiFi hardware disabled.

    If a man is alone in the woods and there isn't a woke Hollywood around to call him racist, is he still white?

    Another thought, a vista update killed off/made intermittent the wireless on my laptop. It couldn't see networks though the router was a vouple of metres away.

    The fix was to remove all of the oem wifi management software and just use the vista applications,

    That's exactly what I'm going to be doing tonight. As I keep saying.

    Seems you're doing all the right things (well - with my limited knowledge).

    Is Mr. Hitcher's laptop a Lenovo? Mine is and in about 5 months it has "Corrupted" its wifi configuration. By that I mean, the light is on but nobody is home. It is running Vista and rebooting doesn't fix. The only solution I've found when it sporadically does this is to choose the option to "repair". Being Windows - it is in an un-intuitive place in one of the 4 different network config applications. (Vista = dead rotting pig with recycled lipstick).

    Is the router turned on.....

    It could be the power to the router is not getting through due to the off switch.......

    for what its worth. I have set up 3 of these particular wireless and 2 of them had issues with laptops. Both turned out to be a WPA issue. Both laptops were over 3 yrs old.

    Thats all I am saying cause you not calm and may know where I live.

    This is good advice. Is the green light on the modem?

    Also, make sure theirs not a washing machine or microwave between the modem and the laptop. If there is, move the modem.
    Some things are worth dying for, living is one of them.

    Oh, hey, why don't you remove the OEM crap and just use the native Vista stuff.

    I haven't read the thread, I think it's about Haddock fishing.

    so have you tried rebooting everything?



    seriously tho, take a win XP laptop along if you can... I don't trust vista at all, and that networking centre shit with zones for "home", "business" trust blah brings back the painful memories of mcafee toying with me
