    Hey, i got a laptop about a month ago (the one in my sig) and installed w7 beta, and for the most part everything is fully functional, but everytime i come home or restart my computer and try to connect to my router, it refuses to connect until i physically reset the router itself. the other computers in the house connect fine to the router and after resetting the router it connects fine...any suggestions?

    I had a similar problem with my Dell e1505 when I installed Win 7. I went into device manager, went to my wireless adapter and then updated the driver. This fixed the issue for me. If it doesn't do it for you, then search for the Vista driver for your network card and try that.
