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. |

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

Wireless Problem
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?
