Windows Update fixes Wifi problems...

Post by FlyingPenguin »

This update provides support for Wireless Protected Access, a new standards-based wireless security solution developed by the Wi-Fi Alliance. WPA is intended to replace the existing Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) standard, offering much more robust methods of encryption and authentication and resulting in a new level of protection for customers taking advantage of the wireless features of Windows XP. For more information about this update, read Knowledge Base Article 826942.
By all reports this solves a lot of the issues people are having with their WiFi connection disconnecting and having to manually reconnect.
