network internet connection issue

Postby daj » Sun Jun 07, 2009 3:18 am

just upgraded to windows 7 RC from windows 7 BETA
and everything went fine except my wireless internet connection keeps hanging up for no apparent reason.
The network diagnostic thing doesn't find any issues. I reinstalled the driver and that didn't fix it either. I have to
restart the netbook for it to connect again to the internet when it does this. Anyone know what it might be?

I would uninstall the driver, then let it reinstall, or install the Vista wireless driver from lenovo, then later upgrade it to the newer windows 7 driver.

I've noticed I have had issues with windows 7 and my wireless setup that has multiple access points. (it has trouble picking the strongest signal with the same SSID and would keep dropping)

Thanks, it seemed to fix itself last evening when I noticed there was an update for the driver dated 5/4/2009 from the windows update utility. Updated it, and haven't had the issue since.
