I have a question about Eliminate
'Multiple Networks' and Get Your Internet Back in Windows Vista:
I'm helping a neighbor with a problem that is very similar to this one. I'm told
their Vista computer wifi was working for a while but has stopped working (in the
house only). In general, the network and sharing center looks the same as in this
append. However, the configuration I'm dealing with is: 1 wireless router that
is a "real router," connected to the internet, as the DHCP server, the firewall,
etc, and 3 other routers that are simply access points for wireless- the wireless
signal is not strong enough in these areas of the house. Each router has a unique
SSID but the same security settings (TKIP with key).
Since the intent of the network was for the user to automatically connect to the
strongest AP, and each AP has a unique SSID, I thought deleting the APs was NOT the
right way to go. Is that right?
I tried merging all the routers to the real router, and that didn't seem to work.
Anybody with an answer?
Note: This can be put in the general heading of using Vista with a network containing
on wifi internet access point but multiple access points.
