I have a Toshiba laptop with an Atheros AR5004G wireless adaptor, my parents have a EI-Systems laptop with a Realtek RTL8187 wireless adaptor. When I boot up my internet is automatically available and away I go, when my parents boot up their laptop they don't seem to have the same luxury. They seem to have to press the WLAN button to get a connection and this doesn't always connect, they try to repair the connection but this totally upsets the network and knocks everyone offline (including the desktop user) which is another story. Is there any way that I can make their laptop automatically connect without them having to press anything?
I have done what you said but it doesn't want to know I have checked my laptop and gone through most of the settings and they all seem to be the same as their settings, would it be because their laptop is basically just crap?
