Wireless networking problems with Vista Home Basic

[ph1dft]

Dear all,

I have a laptop connected via a wireless Sitecom WL-173 router. The connection is protected via WPA2/TKIP and works good.

Only MSN Messenger and Skype often go offline, and the automaticly reconnects, while surfing via Internet Explorer is no problem.

The wireless connection does not drop only MSN and Skype have problems.

More people with this problem ??

I have the same problem but with yahoo messenger. I even formated my hdd but I still could not get the messenger to work. I have no problems with msn or skype.

When did you start having troubles?

The problem started right after I bought a Vista laptop and a router.

Wired there's no problem !

It's a known problem with some routers and Vista. Netgear have recently updated the firmware on some of their routers to fix the problem, maybe updating the firmware on your router will fix this isssue too?

Dear Caretaker,

I have the latest firmware for my router, but it doesn't fix the problem.

Also the netsh int tcp set global autotuninglevel=disabled doesn't solve it.

Any other ideas ??
