Re: Limited Connectivity or no internet

The standard fixes are:

1. In Device Manager, Properties, [select wireless NIC], Properties, Power
Management, uncheck "Allow computer to turn off this device to save power."

2. a) type regedit and press enter

b) path:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Tcpip\Parameters\Interfaces\

c) registry option: DhcpConnForceBroadcastFlag, double click on it, in
the value data box change the 1 to a 0

3. In Network & Sharing, select Manage Wireless Connections. Select your
wireless network and right click. Select properties. Uncheck Connect to a
more preferred network if available.

4. In Network & Sharing, select Manage Network Connections. Select the
Wireless Network Connection. Right click and select Properties. Uncheck
Internet Protocol Version 6 (TCP/IPv6). Uncheck QOS Packet Scheduler.
Click OK.

5. Don't listen to anyone who tells you your router isn't compatible --
Vista's wireless code has problems. The good news is, SP1 may address some
of them. It's always a good idea to make sure you have the latest drivers
for your NIC and the latest firmware for your router. However, this is the
last thing I would try, though it's always the first recommendation by the
Microsoft MVPs.
