Vista suddenly stopped staying connected, but Linux works fine

I have a Dell Studio 17 with Vista Home Premium 32 bit laptop, I just brought it last June, I have a Linksys Wireless N Router and modem, I had some off and on connectivity issues. First it started with not connecting to a particular website, which I used often, it is vistaprint.com, then it started saying that my network was unidentified, then saying local access only, then limited connectivity. So, I had Linux installed and I have no issues staying connected, but as soon as I switch to Vista again, I have more connectivity issues. There are no viruses, no spy ware, nothing is wrong with my network otherwise I would not be able to connect at all. I have had a technician try to figure it out, and they are stumped.
I have read through the forums and no one is having this same issue...there also is no peer to peer programs, no shareware, nothing of the sort. And there are a lot of sites and programs that are not Linux compatible, so I still unfortunately have to use Vista.
Any help I would appreciate, thank you.
