I have a Medion Laptop with Windows Vista OS. My ISP is TalkTalk and I use their WIreless Router manufactured by D-Link.
After Staurt up, a wireless connection is established and everything operates adequately. If I leave my laptop and it goes to sleep, when I wake it up I regularly find I have lost the wireless connection. The 'Connect to a Network' screen reports that windows cannot find a signal with the diagnoses that I am out of range or the router has failed.
I am not out of range as I am sat next to the router and the router is operating correctly with all of the indicationg lights showing it is OK.
I then cannot re-establish a wireless connection other than doing a restart.
I ahve tried switching off the wireless function at my laptop and then back on again without success, I have tried a reset on the Connect to a Network window without success. If I plug in the Ethernet connection then all is fine, but I just can't re-establish a wireless connection unless I do a restart.
I have spoken to Talktalk who blame WIndows Vista, I have talkes to
Microsoft who blame Medion, Medion blame, Talktalk.
I am not sufficiently knowledgeable to know who is to blame. As with all of these type of problems everybody blames everybody else, and leaves us the customer no further forward.
I would accept that the wireless function drops off, if only I could do something other than a restart to re-establish wireless operation.
Can anybody Please advice me if there is anything I could do.
