Wireless Guides :: Vista

Before proceeding make sure you have the latest Service Packs and Windows updates installed, and also make sure your wireless adapter has the latest drivers. If your computer has a built-in wireless adapter, download the latest drivers from the computer manufacturer's website. If you have an external wireless adapter, download the latest drivers from the adapter manufacturer's website.

Note: We have seen issues where the drivers downloaded from the manufacturer's website do not work. To work around this problem, uninstall your wireless card, and reinstall it only this time try using the Microsoft drivers (the drivers that come with the operating system).
