Is your Vista slow to re-establish the network after wake ..

Just curious -- if you sleep/wake your Acer with the wi-fi, does it re-
establish the network immediately? (ie, it would be interesting to
know if this happens for all Vista wi-fi connections, or just the
4965AGN)

Thanks! -Scott

Thanks for trying that -- so at least that means that Vista itself is
capable of re-establishing the network reasonably fast after it wakes
from sleep. (I just timed mine and it takes another 30-35 seconds
after I get the desktop).

Apart from updating the wi-fi driver, is there anything else that you
might suggest?

thanks again, -Scott

How are you connected to the internet? If using a router make sure it is
set up to refresh its connection to your ISP every 5 minutes or so, so that
the connection will not drop when you are not actively connected to the
router.

Thanks,

But it's not likely the router or wi-fi adapter -- I do have other
laptops here on wi-fi that do re-establish the network immediately
upon wake (one XP with B/G, and one Win2k with B).

I've only seen this with the Vista with 4965AGN...

Does your wireless router also support B, G, and N? If not can you force
your slow to connect system to only try G?

Hi all,

An update on my slow-to-reestablish network, after my Vista laptop
wakes from sleep...

I had been using a "no broadcast SSID" wi-fi setup, and Vista seems a
bit bumpy with that (as compared to a more conventional broadcast SSID
setup).

My XP and Win2k laptops both immediately reestablished the network
with the no-broadcast setup, but my Vista took more than 30 seconds.

After some tinkering, I discovered that if I changed the wi-fi adapter
to use a broadcast SSID setup, then the Vista laptop would now
reestablish the network immediately, like the others.

So -- it seems that was the troublemaker -- hopefully this info will
prove useful to somebody...

-Scott

I do understand that not broadcasting the SSID isn't formal security,
but it still has its uses.

Regardless of the merits of non-broadcast SSID networks, it still
seems Vista shouldn't take 30+ seconds to recconect after wake (as
compared to XP/Win2k, which do so immediately).

Thanks again -- this thread helped me finally fix an annoying
problem!

-Scott

My Vista laptop using wireless and my vista desktop wired connection both
instantly connect to the network on wakeup.

Hey Curious -- my guess is that your wireless network is using a
traditional broadcast SSID. After some tinkering, I changed my network
from non-broadcast to broadcast, and the problem went away. (also note
that only my Vista laptop was slow connecting to the non-broadcast
network -- my XP and Win2k laptops were always fine.)

thanks again, -Scott

Hi Vistas is slow generally. I recently brought a Sony Vio TZ model with
pre-loaded Vista Business edition-which turned out to be slower than the
windows 97 run on my first computer purchased in 1994.

It is expected that the micorosoft would be attempting to reduce the booting
time of its windows. However it is becoming clear that what it seeks is to
load the brand new computers with heavy operating systems and then as a
solution asks you to but RAM and booster drives etc. Also this would be great
for processor makers as they would go on increasing the processing speed bit
like Bubkas long jump records.

Come on guys-give us a break. Give a good system, we are willing to pay a
good price for that-but not this way. I am changing to Apple-its way ahead.

in addition, should we now eliminate the not-broadcasting SSID settings from
all routers now, since Vista doesn't like it?

I 'm using a new HP 6000 series laptop with WI-Fi and just tried what you
said was a problem for you.Put it to sleep and did a wake up.It took about 3
or 4 seconds for it to hook up.I don't consider that to be a problem,Hope
this helps. jrock35

If you guys think that is bad, try this one on for size.

My wife and I both have Vista desktops with Linksys wireless network
adapters and I have a Vista laptop that I sometimes use on the same home
wireless network. My daughter has an XP desktop with a Linksys wireless
network adapter. The XP desktop NEVER has a problem reconnecting with the
network after being asleep. However, not only do the Vista computers drop
the network after going to sleep overnight, but when we go to reconnect, the
adapter can't find the network. We either have to reboot the computer or
disable then reenable the driver for the adapter. And we have the most
recent Linksys adapter drivers available.

Anybody have any ideas on how to solve that problem? Linksys has been no
help at all.

Thanks in advance.
