    I remember seeing someone mention this, but I haven't been able to find it. I have an SZ160P and ever since I upgraded to Vista biz (with the new intel drivers) my wireless is always shown @ no higher than 60% signal strength (as reported by the wireless gadget). Does anyone know how to solve this?

    Thanks,
    Jeff

    I believe that's one of many Vista's new features. ;)

    No. Update your WLAN driver to 11.x or whichever is higher on your model. Same thing happened on my part, Vista business. 3-bar the most. but after updating, Always EXCELLENT!!! ;)
