Fixing Wireless Problems with XP
For a very long time now I’ve been under the impression that there is just something
wrong with the WiFi support in XP. Frequently my laptop and my wife’s would just refuse
to get an IP address from our router. I usually have to do a repair, reboot of the
base station or reboot of the laptop. This happend with 3 different laptops that I’ve
owned.
Needless to say this was just plain annoying.
Then a few weeks ago I installed this
update to get WPA2 support since
my Airport Express supports that new standard.
Lo and behold I have yet to experience any wireless problems. Rock solid.
I suspect there were some bug fixes in there. Since the update is optional though
I bet you don’t have it.
