Pocket PC Forum / End Users / Wireless / September 2007Wireless is switched on but vista says it isn't
Hey, I just got a brand new vista premium laptop the other day and I love it, the wireless is great but there is something i shouldnt be doing everytime I turn the laptop on. I Have the wireless switch to 'on' on my laptop but when I log into windows, it says that it needs to be turned on, then repairs it then I can see the list of networks. Now, I shouldn't be doing this, I just want the internet to be connected from when i turn the computer on instead of letting windows itself turning it on when i try to find a network. This is very annoying, sorry its hard to explain my problem. Please help, Lee > Hey, > I just got a brand new vista premium laptop the other day and I love [quoted text clipped - 8 lines] > Please help, > Lee Are you actually shutting it off requiring a total reboot, or just going into standby? Since it's a laptop, try shutting the lid so it goes into standby instead of shutting it down... I shut it down, I don't like to put it on standby. Im quite fussy when it comes to little things hehe. But In the wireless settings i tell windows to keep it connected to my router, yet I always have to manually sort this out everytime I turn my laptop on. > > Hey, > > I just got a brand new vista premium laptop the other day and I love [quoted text clipped - 12 lines] > into standby?

So in essence, you are shutting the wireless down when you shut down the computer (if you have "keep it connected to my router", and then shut down, it will override your selection and force a disconnect/reconnect).... Just as an experiment, try setting the power options to go into standby when you shut the lid instead of shutdown completely, and see if that works like you want.... Just an aside, when vista starts up, it preloads/prefetches a whole lot of stuff to make things a bit quicker..., most of which is very HD intensive... It works way differently than XP's standby (that was basically copy memory to a file for reload).... you may want to look again at what exactly vista does differently during startup now, and see if it meets your needs now that it has changed from xp's standby... |
