    Hi,
    I have a SZ450N running Vista Business. As a whole, the laptop runs well; however, I have a consistent problem with the wireless. When I start the laptop, it will often connect to a network almost immediately, then disconnect, and then (if I'm lucky) reconnect. When I resume from hibernate, it will often not connect, or will show "networks available" or limited connectivity. I can often make the wireless connect if it's being recalcitrant by turning off and on the physical wireless switch. I have the "switcher.exe" utility - the Wireless Switch Setting Utility - to allow 2.4 GHz wifi connection only (no 5 ghz or bluetooth).

    Any ideas how to make connecting more reliable?

    same problem here. I turn on my laptop, it immediately connects then disconnects and I have to reconnect. For some reason I am thinking its the Trend Micro antivirus software
