Wireless Problem
 

Having a strange problem with my wireless adapter(Broadcom 802.11g Network
Adapter). Ever since upgrading to Vista, my signal strength is very Poor.
Under XP, I allways had a full signal. This also effects download speed
dramatically. Any Ideas?

I also noticed, if I disable and then re-enable the adapter, I initially get
full signal(5 out of 5 bars). Then after a couple of minutes, it returns to
poor (1 out of 5 bars)

Thanks.

Have you looked for an updated Vista driver from the manufacturer's website?

The manufacturer (Broadcom) says they do not support the product since it is
sold integrated, contact HP for support. HP says they do not support a Vista
upgrade.

Do I have any options?
