Wifi Manager

[rory182]

Guy at work was telling me how he uses intel software to manage his wireless connection and its much better than using windows own software.

I notice that on my dads pc his connects within say 20-30 secs of starting up, mine doesn't and I often need to refresh the available connections.

Can anyone recommend a decent software that I can download and try?

a) wireless is gay and i use wires if possible

b) windows wireless management is fine and will connect straight away on all that i have ever setup.

c) wireless is gay

Built in Windows Wifi Management is always better.\\

The only way in which a 3rd party app wins is if you need profiles.. but, Vista solves this. (OSX, does, too )

It isn't tho, heh.
It's unpredictable in certain environments, but when it works, it's great.

only time i would use it is if a wire is completely out of the question.

The Wifi management in Vista seems pretty solid so far. I have to agree though, use wires as and when you can. I only use wireless as it's not practical to run 10m of cable through my flat from the access point where the gateway lives.

Although, I used to share your problem Rory when I used XP. I would boot and then have to refresh the connections for the IG to establish a connection to the net. It was most annoying. I never found a solution.
