After upgrading to SP1 my wifi connection keeps disconnecting and
reconnecting about once every ten minutes or so .... I'm using WPA-Personal security and I have disabled power management for the nic. Any ideas how to stay connected please ? |

In Network connection have you tried unbinding TCP/IPv6?

You have not provided any info on what NIC or what router (brand,
model, hardware revision, firmware version). Please post the text output of ipconfig /all http://digitalmediaphile.wordpress.c...windows-vista/ My best guess is to try unbinding IPv6 http://digitalmediaphile.wordpress.c...windows-vista/ On Mon, 24 Mar 2008 12:30:10 -0700, "Michael Tissington" wrote: After upgrading to SP1 my wifi connection keeps disconnecting and reconnecting about once every ten minutes or so ....

I am having the EXACT same problem. Here's my IPConfig:

if you mean the WGR614 v7, only the last two firmware versions implement Cone NAT for Vista compliance. http://kbserver.netgear.com/products/wgr614v7.asp what firmware are you running? -- Barb Bowman MS-MVPhttp://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/expertzone/meetexperts/bowman.mspxhttp://blogs.digitalmediaphile.com/barb/ Account Name Hardware Version V7 Firmware Version V2.0.23_1.0.23NA Which is the latest version from Netgear. All my drivers are up to date as well. As I said before, I was in good shape before the SP1 upgrade but now it's horrid. Unticking IPv6 does not seem to help, although it was a good try so thank you I am going to go dig onthe RealTek website. |

also check if the driver was upgraded or downgraded in device
