Title: sony vaio looses wifi connection
Post by: razorrazor on August 09, 2010, 10:27:20 AM
My girlfriends computer looses connection to the wlan really often.
I tryed 3 diffrent firmware.. the one i use now is: 1.31EU..

Wish is off
SPI is off
Enable Traffic Shaping is off

I tryed to set the most of the stuff disabled so it wont disturb the wireless :))
But it does not help.
I tryed resetting the router several times.. And the router is only 8 meters from the computer ..

Is there a better firmware for europe users? Or do u have any other suggestions?

Latest wireless drivers on Vaio? Does the Vaio work OK with other wifi networks?

Reason for asking: no clue so far whether it is a router or a client issue...

i guess i should have said i already did, and the 6200 does support this so it should work!

You can use inSSIDer to see which channels are taken by other AP's. Find the channel with the least strong other signals.

If your router is setup for full N (2,4 Ghz that is, for full N you actually need a 5 Ghz router), is your Vaio setup OK? One req. is having set channel width to 20/40 Ghz
