Hello all I'm new here on the forum and this is my first post here !

I love Vista, I've been keeping up with all the news and hype of this new OS for months now. But yesterday after anxiously installing Vista RC2, to my amazment, I noticed a small problem with my wireless connection.....

Basically I've got a DLINK DWL-G122 wireless USB adapter (rev c.) Wireless USB Adapter - DWL-G122 by D-Link connected to my PC and I've got an all in one modem/router (Speedstream 6520).....New Page 1

And whenever I try connecting to my wireless home network, it works but only some times.....usaully I always have to play around with settings to make it work.....is there a way to fix this ? I usaully get a message saying "Limited Connectivity"......I am able to get a very good signal with good speeds 54.00 mbps.....

So i am still asking myself what is causing this Limited Connectivity Issue ?

I dual boot windows xp home edition and Vista RC2.....on my pc.......when I use xp, I can connect no problem to my wireless network....It's only when i enter Vista, I sometimes have issues with wireless conenctivity problems....

any help would be greatly appreciated !

had the same problem, however this was with a Netgear router. i had to re-set the router and i found it worked. if your network is WEP then all you need do is enter the code and your wireless will prompt for the remainder.

I have installed RC2 yesterday and the adapter is not getting recognized.
Please let me know the version of the driver you have used for obtaining the 'limited connectivity'.

Thanks

I FOUND A DRIVER THAT ACTUALLY WORKS WITH VISTA & WIN x64!

And now that I got your attention, allow me to share this wonderful driver:

MEGAUPLOAD - The leading online storage and file delivery service (mirror 1)

Download G122_x64_Driver.zip (mirror 2)

I have also uploaded this to driverguide.com in hopes that I will aid others in thier search for a vista compatible driver.

The only thing that *might* cause issues is by installing this driver without disabling `driver certificates` using the F8 boot menu.

Otherwise, Enjoy

Recently purchased HP with Vista. The wireless shows a connection and 54 Mbps but then limited connectivity. It worked for about 5 minutes and then stopped. Been doing this for 2 days. Any ideas why this is happening. the guy at the store said just turn it on and it should work. HA.

I have the same problem. Using a DLInk GWL-G132 USB network adapter. Signal starts as good, works for a while. Then I cannot connect again. I have desktop next to this one with XP and the adapter works just fine there.

I have a fugitsu Lifebook... same problem here. Seems when it happens, I can get it working again by shutting the radio off and turning itback on again. Weirdly though, the quicklaunch icon shows that the connection is now local and intarweb, but when I click on it to see the available access points, they all still show as local only.

Not only that, but it also seems to forget I have a fingerprint scanner every once in a while. Seems Vista has a few problems with device support. Good luck

Having weird problem as well. Bought a new VAIO w/Vista Home Edition and upgraded to Vista Ultimate due to work requirements. At work, connects fine to the wireless network, but won't remember the WEP key, which has to be entered each time . . .

At home, it gets downright strange. I too am able to connect, but "local access" only. If I go to Device Manager and uninstall my wireless device (but NOT the driver), the device will reinstall and work perfectly. The MS tech guy I spoke with is baffled as well.

Try the uninstall - - - it is a work-around until the cause is determined.

I have a home network with a desktop running XP hard wired to a wireless router, a laptop running XP and using a pen type wireless connector, and a laptop running Vista with built in wireless connector.

The hard wired desktop shares files and connects to the internet, all as one would expect.
The XP laptop similarly shares files, connectes to the internet and uses the printer attached to the desktop.
The Vista laptop connects to the internet until its been standing idle for a while, and then nothing will persuade it to reconnect. The only way to reconnect to the internet is to reboot.

Sometimes the Vista laptop will see the other computers on the network, and on special once in a blue moon occasionas, lets you use the printer on the desktop, but more often than not seems to think its all alone in the world.

Vista's network diagnostic tool just returns 'unable to diagnose fault'

Don't want to hard wire this too, as it defeats the object of having a laptop, but I see no other option, unless someone comes up with a solution to stop this.

I am also having problems!! I just bought a Compaq Presario laptop with wireless capabilities.

However, at least 3 times daily I have to turn it off, turn the modem off etc and the wireless router and then restart them all because it switches to local only or "limited connectivity".

We have a Belkin wireless router and I am also not thinking about getting an extension to our data cable to plug into the internet. I am so frustrated with this. It is such a waste of time and money.
