Something is weird because I get limited connectivity suddenly while I'm on dial-up, and rebooting also fixes it. It tells me to switch to wireless, but sometimes I can't get it that way either. I have to reboot...........

I can assure you wireless works very well in Vista and is secure.

"some routers and wireless cards were not very Vista Friendly at the start"

Don't you mean "Vista was not friendly towards some routers and wireless cards from the start" ?????????

I have a wireless network - all machines (XP, Ubuntu, Mac etc) work absolutely perfectly and never fail to connect, then my daughter bought a new Acer notebook with Vista on it and this will not work on the wireless, we HAVE had it working, but only after rebooting her computer and rebooting the router, which should not be necessary every time (and it annoys other people on the network if all of a sudden the router is turned off)
Any solutions I will happily try, otherwise I will just put Ubuntu on her machine as she only uses it for internet and chat. Strangely enough Vista can see all the neighbour's networks but not ours. The router is 2 years old and I refuse to purchase a new one.
