From: Phil Rhodes on 21 Feb 2010 21:22 My wife bought a new laptop with Windows7, and I got it up and running, but everytime she opens the thing, she has to click on "Connect". There must be a way to get it to look for our home wireless first. I mean, my Windows Vista laptop can figure it out. I thought Windows 7 was SO MUCH BETTER!

Thanks, Jack, I figured it was something simple that I'd missed. That 'wireless manager' isn't part of Vista (as far as I know).
