rjventre Posted February 3, 2007 CID Share Posted February 3, 2007 Ever since I installed Vista on my computer, I have been having trouble with the wireless icon. The singnal strength that displays when you hover the mouse over the icon in the tray, always stays at 3 bars. The signal remains the same no matter where I go in my home. I have a Linksys WRT300N router and an internal wireless card on my HP DV9000T laptop. If anyone knows what is going on, please let me know. Thanks!

Swimmer Posted February 4, 2007 CID Share Posted February 4, 2007 The wireless strength indicator may not change once the signal is locked on... you can download Wifi stumbler and run that to check and see if it is a driver issue.. I am going to guess not.. I am more inclined to think that it is that someone forgot to add the code that updates the wireless signal indicator.

rjventre Posted February 4, 2007 Author CID Share Posted February 4, 2007 Thanks for the help Swimmer. This might sound like a dumb question, but is there any way to fix the problem if someone forgot to add the code to update the signal strength? Also, I posted this same question on the Vista news groups site, and a got a couple of replies. One person said that he is having the same problem and another person said that when he first installed Vista he was having this problem, but now it works fine. What are your thoughts on this? Thanks again for the help! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swimmer Posted February 4, 2007 CID Share Posted February 4, 2007 Well seeing as there are other having issues.. I wouldn't be to worried about it right now.. As long as the wireless work.. If something really changes like it stops working then yeah there is something really wrong. See as the first Service Pack for vista is due out second half of 2007.. My guess is one of the main things that they are going to be patching is going to be the network stack in general. If enough people are having problems then I am sure that MS know about it.
