Default windows Vista on HP Laptop


I have a HP Pavilion DV6152eu with wireless built-in. it came with XP
media Center, but I made an upgrade to Vista Home Premium. My laptop
was working well with wireless for aprox 1 month. but then I was unable
to see any wireless network. the front wireless/bluetooth switch is "ON"
the wireless device is properly installed, drivers are ok because like I
said it was working with vista and wireless aprox one month.
The fact is that before when I used to turn my laptop on I could see on
the task bar the bluetooth icon with a pop-up showing me: "bluetooth :
on" "wireless : on". Now what I just see is "bluetooth : on". I
re-intalled vista again and updated all the drivers but the trouble
persists. after one week using wired connection my wireless magically
appeared again. but after few days it has gone again.... any idea why?
I hope you can help me.
Thanks!

As we know some router DHCP is not compatible with Vista. You may have two options.

1. Setup a static IP.

2. Disable the DHCP BROADCAST flag in Windows Vista as the below link:

And you've installed the latest drivers for that laptop from the HP web site
support area? Is it still under warranty?

Carlos Arango,

I'm sorry you're experiencing trouble. Are you still having the issue? If
so, are you able to see any other wireless network (hotspot) if you take the
laptop on the road?
