Horrible Wireless Connection under Windows

Hi guys, I have a previous generation MacBook Pro with Vista and Mac OS X. Under Mac OS X, my wireless connection is fantastic, never drops. In Windows, it always only gets 2 bars and frequently disconnects. I don't do anything new to the laptop besides the fact that it is under Windows.

Anyone know how I can fix it?

You installed and then updated the Boot Camp drivers, right?
 
Yes, I think I did. The trackpad and sound and everything else works like it should.
 
From the apple software updater? Yes. It always wants to update Quicktime and Safari, though. 🙄
 
I have sort of the same problem.

Under OSX, the connection is fantastic and almost never drops. Under Vista, the reception is a little weaker and sometimes requires me to move closer to my router or disconnect and then reconnect.

I'm not sure how to fix this, so it's just something that I live with. The disconnect-reconnect thing is good enough for the time being. Sorry I don't have anything to say that can help you.
