Well, the problems started when I tried to play an WC3 on my new laptop through wireless. Imo, wireless is the only way to go. I soon discover vista has the same problem xp had, in that a service will automatically search for a better network every 30-60 seconds when I don't need a better network. While doing this it essentially disconnects you and causes lag/spikes in the game and boots you.

With Windows XP I did a lot of researching around 3-4 years ago and found that you could disable this through Wireless Zero Configuration. So, every time I booted xp I would let it connect, and then turn WZC off. After that, my games ran as smooth as butter with no lag.

First of all, I can't believe this many years later, Vista has the same problem, but now its even worse. WZC is gone and I can't just turn it off to fix the problem. I've tried updating the drivers, downloading WLAN optimizier, and Vista Anti-Lag.

Is there any legit and easy way to fix this? Will a new router fix the problem? The router I have is pretty old but It connects so I think Vista will probably always search regardless of the router.

How do I fix this? I'm going crazy...

Thanks for the help!
