Type Vista Broadcast Flag on any search engine to see why it matters. Also test that netbook somewhere else.
Just so you know I picked up the usual Acer Aspire One and it's fine. Mine runs XP and all I had to to was turn the wifi on.

Factors
by deniceels - 7/25/09 5:32 AM In reply to: netbook , 20 feet from router and gets NO signal ???? by noemeatinvolved includes the placement of the wireless router.
1) if it's placed very near a wall, signal, even to a room just behind that wall, will be severally affected (As my brother had complained often)
2) The number of walls between the router and the room. The more walls between, the faster it drops signal (more so if the wall has steel bars for structure)
3) Height of placement is also important. Placing too low on the floor also can affect, likewise placing too high up.
4) Power saving set on your wireless adapter and router.
My netbook gets the signal from 240 ft

In my experience, troubleshooting often stops at this first step.
