SP1 WiFi connection keeps getting disconnected

After upgrading to SP1 my wifi connection keeps disconnecting and
reconnecting about once every ten minutes or so .... I'm using WPA-Personal
security and I have disabled power management for the nic.

Any ideas how to stay connected please ?

In Network connection have you tried unbinding TCP/IPv6?

You have not provided any info on what NIC or what router (brand,
model, hardware revision, firmware version).

Please post the text output of ipconfig /all

My best guess is to try unbinding IPv6

I am having the EXACT same problem. Here's my IPConfig:

Here is before I unticked the IPv6:

Wireless LAN adapter Wireless Network Connection:

Connection-specific DNS Suffix . :

Now this was done after I unticked the IPv6.

I am connecting to a NetGear Wireless G Hardware Version 7 Router.
Never ever had a problem before SP1 and nor do any of the other
wireless devices I have in my house that do not use Vista.

if you mean the WGR614 v7, only the last two firmware versions
implement Cone NAT for Vista compliance.

what firmware are you running?

Account Name
Hardware Version V7
Firmware Version V2.0.23_1.0.23NA

Which is the latest version from Netgear. All my drivers are up to
date as well. As I said before, I was in good shape before the SP1
upgrade but now it's horrid. Unticking IPv6 does not seem to help,
although it was a good try so thank you I am going to go dig on
the RealTek website.

also check if the driver was upgraded or downgraded in device
manager (try a driver rollback?)
